Module 3: Global Infrastructure and Reliability Flashcards
What is the relationship between
Regions and Availability Zones?
Regions consist of three or more Availability Zones.
Each Availability Zone includes one or more data centers.
After you have selected a Region for your applications, as a best practice, run applications in multiple
Availability Zones. This helps to ensure that your applications can continue to run if one Availability Zone fails.
List the factors to consider when determining the right Region for your services, data, and applications.
*Compliance with data governance and legal requirements
*Proximity to your customers
*Pricing
*Available services within a Region
What is an Edge Location?
An edge location is a site that Amazon CloudFront uses to store cached copies of your content for faster delivery to customers
When choosing an AWS Region for
your services, data, and applications,
why should you consider a Region’s
proximity to your customers?
When your customers request content, it travels across a short distance and is delivered to
them quickly.
