    AWS Regions and Availability Zones

    • An AWS region is a named set of AWS resources and services available for use by an AWS customer, located in a specific geographic area, isolated from other regions.

    Geographic Regions and Availability Zones

    • AWS currently operates in over 25 geographic regions around the world.
    • Each region consists of two or more isolated locations known as availability zones (AZs).

    Availability Zones vs Regions

    • The main difference between an availability zone and a region is that a region is a broader geographic area that contains multiple isolated locations or availability zones.

    Availability Zones

    • AWS currently has over 80 availability zones across the globe.

    Edge Locations

    • The purpose of an edge location in AWS is to accelerate the distribution of static and dynamic web content by caching frequently requested content at edge locations, reducing latency and improving performance.
