AWS new AZ in eu-west-2 - beware of unexpected resultshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49363466It seems as though AWS have brought a new AZ online in eu-west-2 (London) today with very little fanfare or indeed without telling their support staff. It appears as eu-west-2d. No AWS docs yet reflect this change.Wanted to give anyone who uses this region a heads up just in case - at a client site it has caused a widespread bunch of issues as a result of Terraform failures etc. Depending on your codebase resources might be torn down and recreated unexpectedly. You can argue the case for whether this should cause you issues or not given this is the cloud etc but I just wanted to try and save someone else some hours of head scratching.aws ec2 describe-availability-zones --region eu-west-2 --all-availability-zones --query 'AvailabilityZones[].[ZoneName,ZoneID,ZoneTYpe,State,OptInStatus,Messages]' [ [ "eu-west-2a", null, null, "available", "opt-in-not-required", [] ], [ "eu-west-2b", null, null, "available", "opt-in-not-required", [] ], [ "eu-west-2c", null, null, "available", "opt-in-not

Launch HN: machine0 (YC S26) – Persistent CPU and GPU VMs from the CLIhttps://machine0.ioHi HN! I’m Barnaby, founder of machine0 (https://machine0.io). I’m building a CLI for long horizon agent compute: `machine0 new mybox` gives your agent a persistent cloud VM, billed by the minute, from $0.013/hr up to 60 vCPU / 240 GB RAM and GPUs (H100s, H200s etc), with 99.99% VM level uptime. Agents self drive via CLI or MCP.Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyllkZ0M04EAgent workloads are moving from ephemeral to always-on. A coding agent working on a complex feature runs 6-8 hours. Agent orchestrated training & RL runs take days. OpenClaw & Hermes run 24/7. As you run more in parallel:- Resources: a few agents on a large codebase saturate RAM and CPU. Model training and RL needs GPUs you don't have.- Security: `--yolo` on your personal machine is one prompt injection away from exfiltrated credentials.- Availability: close your laptop and the agent dies mid-task.- Isolation: there's no clean line between you and the minimum your agent actually needs.machine0 gives every agent it
