The AWS Cloud infrastructure is built around AWS Regions and Availability Zones. An AWS
Region is a physical location in the world where we have multiple Availability Zones.
Availability Zones consist of one or more discrete data centers, each with redundant power,
networking, and connectivity, housed in separate facilities. These Availability Zones offer you
the ability to operate production applications and databases that are more highly available, fault
tolerant, and scalable than would be possible from a single data center. For the latest information
on the AWS Cloud Availability Zones and AWS Regions, refer to AWS Global Infrastructure

The AWS Cloud spans 105 Availability Zones within 33 geographic regions around the world,
with announced plans for 12 more Availability Zones and 4 more AWS Regions in Germany,
Malaysia, New Zealand, and Thailand.
