Azure Regions

An Azure region is a geographical area containing networked datacenters with low-latency connections.

• Global Distribution: Azure regions are globally distributed to reduce latency and adhere to data regulations.
• Availability and Resiliency: Regions are paired for resource replication, backup, and disaster recovery.
• Compliance and Data Residency: Regions help comply with data residency laws by allowing location-specific data storage and processing.
