AWS Regions

This lesson is part of AWS · All levels

Summary

AWS Region is a geographic region that hosts several Availability Zones and is self-sufficient in service. Choosing the right Region takes into account the geographical proximity of the user, the compliance requirements for data storage, as well as the price difference. Each Region has a unique ap-southeast-1 code that represents its location and opening sequence.

Key points

Regions stand alone and do not automatically share data across Regions
Region selection takes into account latency, compliance, and price
Region code format abbreviation of region + order number
Some services are global and not bound by one region
