• The AWS Global Infrastructure consists of
Regions and Availability Zones.
Key takeaways
• Your choice of a Region is typically based
on compliance requirements or to reduce
latency.
• Each Availability Zone is physically
separate from other Availability Zones and
has redundant power, networking, and
connectivity.
• Edge locations, and Regional edge caches
improve performance by caching content
closer to users.

might display N. Virginia).
D. Click the Region menu and switch to a different Region. For example, choose EU (London).
E. Click Subnets (on the left side of the screen). The Region has three subnets in it. Click the box next to one of the subnets. Notice
that the bottom half of the screen now displays details about this subnet.
Question #3: Does the subnet you selected exist at the level of the Region or at the level of the Availability Zone?
F. Click Your VPCs. An existing VPC is already selected.
Question #4: Does the VPC exist at the level of the Region or the level of the Availability Zone?
Question #5: Which services are global instead of Regional? Check Amazon EC2, IAM, Lambda, and Route 53.
