Regions:

• Regions are independent geographic locations:

  • eastus, northeurope, etc.

Regions:

Zones:

• Zones are physically separate locations within a region:

  • GCP: us-west1-a, us-west1-b, etc

Zones:

• Interconnected through a high-performance network:

  • Azure: round-trip network latency is under 2 milliseconds on the 95th percentile.
     

• Usually, 3+ zones per region.

Local/Edge Zones:

• Local/edge zones expand cloud infrastructure to densely populated metropolitan areas:

  • AWS Local Zones

  • Azure Edge Zones

  • GCP  Edge Nodes
     

• For applications requiring single digit millisecond latency for end users

  • Gaming, streaming, etc.
