    My understanding is that the zone handles lots of the core functions of AWS, such as authentication, which is why so much was affected by the recent outage

      One of the most important functions is that it is the fallback management server. As well as the default server.

        Maybe you just weren’t dealing with any services that were hosted on AWS? It wasn’t the entire internet that was down
