AWS Geographic Infrastructure
AWS Geographies represent strategic market boundaries that ensure data sovereignty and regulatory compliance while enabling customers to deploy resilient, low-latency applications.
Global Geographic Distribution
AWS organizes its cloud infrastructure into distinct geographies to help customers meet their data residency, compliance, and latency requirements. Each geography serves a specific market area and contains multiple regions for redundancy.
