Isn’t it the cheapest AWS region? Or at least among the cheapest. If I’m correct, this incentivizes users to start there.


All countries are more expensive than the US, but many US regions are the same (cheapest) price. (eg Ohio, Oregon).

us-east-1 is more a legacy of it being the first region so by virtue of being the default region for the longest time most customers built on it.
