• Pricing 
• pricing varies from region to region 

AWS Availability Zone:

• Each region has many availability zones (usually 3, min is 3, max is 6)

• They are separated from each other so that they are isolated from disasters.
• They are connected with high bandwidth, ultra-low latency networking
