Remember when spot prices for ec2 instances in us-east were like five times the price of spot instances in other availability zones because no one took az's seriously and just used the default?

you mean region?

AZs have always had account specific identifiers, so amazon has at least a small amount of control over which AZs see the most action within a region. (i.e. my us-east-1a might be your us-east-1c)

i still mainly work with aws, but aws-style regions seem like such an odd anti-pattern after getting used to gcp.

I haven't worked with GCP in a year or two, but aren't they essentially the same? 10 or so regions with names like us-east1 made up of 3+ availability zones each

I know some aws regions don't have the full 3 zones, but what are the other differences?
