What Are Regions and AZs?
A region and an availability zone (AZ) identify the location of a data center. You can create resources in a specific AZ of a region.
shows the relationship between regions and AZs.
What Are the Considerations for Selecting a Region?
When selecting a region, consider the following factors:
- Location
You are advised to select a region closest to your target users. This reduces network latency and improves access rate. However, there is no distinct difference between the infrastructure, BGP network quality, and resource operations and configurations in the same region/country. Therefore, you do not need to consider the network latency when selecting a region in a country.
- Resource price
Resource prices may vary in different regions.
What Are the Considerations for Selecting an AZ?
Consider the requirements for disaster recovery (DR) and network latency when selecting an AZ:
- Deploy resources in different AZs in the same region for DR purposes.
- Deploy resources in the same AZ for minimum latency.
