`AWS` Virginia Outage Resolved After `US-East-1` Overheating Incident

A cooling-related failure in `US-East-1` hit major customer-facing services, not just internal AWS dashboards. If anything still depends on a single region, this is another reminder that multi-region failover is cheaper than surprise downtime.

[ KEY POINTS ]
  1. The trigger was data center overheating in US-East-1, turning a routine status alert into a real regional availability event.
  2. Named impact reached services like Coinbase and FanDuel, which shows the blast radius reached end-user transactions, not background jobs only.
  3. AWS marked recovery at 3:29 PM ET Friday. Even a resolved incident matters if your stack, auth, or webhooks are pinned to one region.
