How Do I Select a Region and AZ?

Selecting a Region

When selecting a region, consider the following factors:

  • Location

    It is recommended that you select the closest region for lower network latency and quick access.

    • If your target users are in Asia Pacific (excluding the Chinese mainland), select the CN-Hong Kong, AP-Bangkok, or AP-Singapore region.
    • If your target users are in Africa, select the AF-Johannesburg region.
    • If your target users are in Latin America, select the LA-Santiago region.

      The LA-Santiago region is located in Chile.

  • Resource price

    Resource prices may vary in different regions. For details, see Product Pricing Details.

Selecting an AZ

When deploying resources, consider your applications' requirements on disaster recovery (DR) and network latency.

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