Region & AZs

• How do you choose an AWS region?
  • Compliance - data never leaves a region without your explicit permission.
  • Proximity - reduced latency
  • Available services - new services are not available in every region.
  • Pricing - pricing varies from region to region.
• Availability Zones? each region has many AZs ( usually 3 to 6). example :
  • ap-southeast-2a
  • ap-southeast-2b
  • ap-southeast-2c
• aws global services
  • IAM
  • ROUTE 53
  • CLOUDFRONT
  • WAF

• aws region-scoped services

  • EC2
  • ELASTIC BEANSTALK
