About AWS us-gov-west-1

AWS us-gov-west-1 (AWS GovCloud (US-West)) is one of Amazon Web Services's smaller-footprint regions in United States. It is most often used for regional workloads close to local users and compliance boundaries, which means an outage here tends to surface as customer-facing issues for those workloads first. What makes us-gov-west-1 distinct is that it is a smaller geographic-coverage region for United States. 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.
