This has been an obvious feature request for many years, but glad to see AWS investing in what started to feel like a service that was mostly abandoned for investment.
Cognito just supported multi-region? For identity this seems like a very high priority issue. I was at a company 10 years ago that we didn't use Cognito to build, and build our own AWS based identity because Cognito didn't have this (and just seemed pretty half-baked).
This prevented us from failing over during last October's outage (unless we wanted to reset everyone's password). Glad to see AWS focusing in on resiliency.
To add to the other posters, keep-the-lights-on usually means a product has no active feature development. It’s just supported with on-call and maybe some bug fixes depending on capacity.
i try to keep my comments on here positive, but man, my experience using this product has been awful.

They wanted to rebase onto a different database first to make multi-region easier, but that work took many years.

I work for a Cognito competitor, but I am glad to see them investing in improving the lives of folks using this native AWS service.
It felt like Cognito was abandoned for a while.
This should have been available from the beginning. I don't understand why it took so long.
I think cognito was internally low-staff/KTLO for a while and that changed recently.
What does KLTO mean?

No clue if Cognito actually was KTLO though.
"Keep Lights To On." It's the post-it on the light switch wired to the Cognito server.
Probably meant KTLO: Keep The Lights On
