Resilience in Amazon Account Management

The following information is relevant for all Amazon Web Services accounts. If you use our new Amazon experience, additional Regional considerations apply. For more information, see Amazon Web Services Regions for your projects.

The Amazon global infrastructure is built around Amazon Web Services Regions and Availability Zones. Regions provide multiple physically separated and isolated Availability Zones, which are connected through low-latency, high-throughput, and highly redundant networking. With Availability Zones, you can design and operate applications and databases that automatically fail over between zones without interruption. Availability Zones are more highly available, fault tolerant, and scalable than traditional single or multiple data center infrastructures.
