Global Infrastructure

Regions

• Geographic Separation - isolated Fault Domain
• Geopolitical Separation - Different governance
• Location Control - Performance

Availability Zone (AZ)

• one or more isolated data centers infrastructure within a region
• connected with high speed low-latency

Service Resilience

Global resilient - globally available, ie Iam

Region Resilient - run in a single region - generally replicate data across AZ

AZ Resilient - run in a single AZ

Local Zones

• infrastructure placed close to large population and industry centers
• used to reduce distance of datacenter for low latency
• 1 zones, no built int resilience
• not all products supported
• support DX
• use for the highest performance
