		dijit on Dec 22, 2021 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Tell HN: AWS appears to be down again Some “global” systems run in us-east1 even if you’re not hosted there a service you depend on might be. Notably: cognito, r53 and the default web UI. (You can work around the webui one I’m told, by passing a different domain instead of just console.aws.amazon.com)

Don't forget about CloudFront, which can only be configured via us-east-1.
