Is this just for simplification? Would non-Sydney and multi-region services be expected to re-add what they need?

There will be fewer of those than we thought but there are also already Skuba services in SEEK Asia. I want to make sure we’re not being too aggressive here.

@etaoins yep it's purely simplification for newly initialised repos going forwards, and it would need to be re-added for a new multi-region service.

Granted this is upstreamed from a much-simplified template I'm building for the grad bootcamp, so maybe it's too aggressive.

Is there any newly minted tech guidance written down about the default region we could link to yet?

[etaoins]

@tobyhei

All the recent changes are reflected only in Confluence so far. There’s plans to merge things in to Tech Strategy once we have a better handle on what it should be.

For now ap-southeast-2 is a safe bet, though.

Also note that the only tangible difference here is that a newly initialised service will not log its region. That feels like a reasonable default and saves some $$$ since most of our services are not multi-region.
