AWS Regions and multi-region deployments
A Region is a geographically isolated set of AWS data centers; use multiple Regions to survive Region-level failures or meet local compliance and latency requirements.
"I want my service to stay online even if an entire AWS Region has an outage."
An AWS Region is a distinct geographic area containing multiple Availability Zones (AZs); multi-region deployment places resources in more than one Region to provide disaster recovery, lower latency for distant users, or regional data residency.
