Region

AWS has data centers in different areas of the world.

Amazon regions:

  • Asia Pacific (Tokyo) ap-northeast-1
  • Asia Pacific (Singapore) ap-southeast-1
  • Asia Pacific (Sydney) ap-southeast-2,
  • EU (Frankfurt) eu-central-1
  • EU (Ireland) eu-west-1
  • South America (Sao Paulo) sa-east-1
  • US East (N. Virginia) us-east-1
  • US West (N. California) us-west-1
  • US West (Oregon) us-west-2

This is how it can be configured:

Availability Zones

An availability zone is a distinct location within a region engineered to be isolated from failures in other availability zones. Think about it as location: by placing resources in different availability zones you can protect the application from the failure of a single location. Each region provides low-latency network connectivity with other zones within the same region. Example of availability zones within a region: us-west-2b.

The list of zones and their codes is available here:

An auto-scaling group can span multiple availability zones.
