About AWS eu-central-1
AWS eu-central-1 (Europe (Frankfurt)) is one of Amazon Web Services's high-traffic regions in Germany. It is most often used for EU-hosted workloads with data-residency requirements (GDPR), which means an outage here tends to surface as customer-facing issues for those workloads first. What makes eu-central-1 distinct is that it concentrates a disproportionate share of customer workloads. This page tracks reachability and latency from outside Amazon Web Services's own network, so a regional issue can be visible here before it lands on the official AWS status page.
