AWS Global Infrastructure


Availability Zone

  • Think of an Availability Zone as a Data Center
    • A Data Center is just a building filled with Servers!
  • An Availability Zone may be several data centers, but because they are so close together, they are counted as 1 Availability Zone

Region

  • A Geographical area
  • Each Region consists of 2 (or more) Availability Zones
  • US East (N. Virginia) is the region where all the new services come out!

Edge Locations

  • Edge Locations are endpoints for AWS which are used for caching content
  • There are many more Edge Locations than Regions
  • Currently there are 205 Edge Locations
