Concepts

  • Region

    Regions are geographic areas isolated from each other. Resources are region-specific and cannot be used across regions through internal network connections. For low network latency and quick resource access, select the nearest region.

  • AZ

    AZs are physically isolated locations in a region, but are interconnected through an internal network for enhanced application availability.

  • Project

    A project corresponds to a region. Projects group and isolate resources (including compute, storage, and network resources) across regions. Users can be granted permissions in a default project to access all resources in the region associated with the project. For more refined access control, create subprojects under a project and create resources in the subprojects. Users can then be assigned permissions to access only specific resources in the subprojects.
