I have a lot of points to make and I will make them later.
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)

That's the stuff. And then some research center would soak up all of us-east-1d's spot instances for an afternoon trying to square a circle or something, so everyone else would get out-bid and all their spot instances would poof into ether
