AWS Region Usage

AWS Regions are fundamental building blocks of your cloud architecture, serving as geographically isolated locations that contain multiple Availability Zones. Choosing the right regions is critical for optimizing performance, ensuring compliance with data residency requirements, managing costs, and building resilient disaster recovery strategies. Each region operates independently, providing natural fault isolation and enabling you to architect globally distributed applications while maintaining data sovereignty. In this section, we will provide guidance on region enablement strategies, selection criteria, and best practices for effectively utilizing AWS Regions to meet your operational and business requirements.
