Even this little tidbit is a bit of a wtf for me. Why do they consider it ok to have anything hosted in a single region?
At a different (unnamed) FAANG, we considered it unacceptable to have anything depend on a single region. Even the dinky little volunteer-run thing which ran https://internal.site.example/~someEngineer was expected to be multi-region, and was, because there was enough infrastructure for making things multi-region that it was usually pretty easy.
