Regions and AZs

Concepts

The combination of a region and an availability zone (AZ) identifies the location of a data center. You can create resources in a specific AZ in a region.

Selecting an AZ

When determining whether to deploy resources in the same AZ, consider your applications' requirements on disaster recovery (DR) and network latency.

  • For high DR capability, deploy resources in different AZs in the same region.
  • For low network latency, deploy resources in the same AZ.
