Cross-Region Replication

Cross-Region Replication

Let’s learn about cross-region replication for S3 storage.

AWS global infrastructure

AWS offers a highly secure, reliable, and available cloud platform to develop and deploy applications globally within minutes.

Some benefits of having a robust infrastructure are listed below:

  • Low latency and low packet loss
  • Easy usage
  • Highly reliable and available
  • Fault-tolerant
  • Highly secure
  • High throughput
  • Highly redundant networking

Regions

Regions are the largest physical hardware data centers managed by AWS. They can withstand large amounts of failure. There are 25 regions (both constructed and in-construction) in total.

Availability zones

Availability zones are slightly smaller data centers within regions that are closer to the users and store redundant data. They are used to facilitate high-speed and low latency network connectivity. Each region contains three availability zones. There are at least 81 availability zones in total.

Edge locations
