How to choose an AWS Region?

  • Compliance with data governance and legal requirements: data never leaves a region without your explicit permission.

  • Proximity to customers: reduced latency

  • Available services within a Region: new services and new features aren’t available in every Region.

  • Pricing: pricing varies region to region and is transparent in the service pricing page
