> Today, we’re announcing Amazon Route 53 Accelerated recovery for managing public DNS records, a new Domain Name Service (DNS) business continuity feature that is designed to provide a 60-minute recovery time objective (RTO) during service disruptions in the US East (N. Virginia) AWS Region. This enhancement ensures that customers can continue making DNS changes and provisioning infrastructure even during regional outages, providing greater predictability and resilience for mission-critical applications.
I think it makes sense in this instance. Because this occurred in us-east-1, the vast majority of affected customers are US based. For most people, it's easier to do the timezone conversion from PT than UTC.
us-east-1 is an exceptional Amazon region; it hosts many global services as well as services which are not yet available in other regions. Most AWS customers worldwide probably have an indirect dependency on us-east-1.
