Back to categoryPractice quiz

Answer

A region is a geographic area (e.g., `eu-central-1`) that contains multiple Availability Zones. An AZ is a physically separate data center (or group of them) within a region. Spreading across AZs improves availability; spreading across regions improves geo‑redundancy.
