AWS fundamentals: Aside: Regions
In this blog post series we’ll take a closer look at Amazon web services (AWS) and all their Serverless related services in detail.
Today we look at AWS regions.
This chapter is a free sample taken from our “Learn Serverless” book.
Amazon web services can be deployed in different regions. Those regions are split up geographically. You should choose a region near to you or your users to keep response time low and your app performance snappy. Furthermore regions make it possible to create a redundant and fault tolerant application infrastructure. It’s no problem if there datacenter in Oregon is on fire if you have another deployment in Ireland.
Serverless makes it easy to deploy your Lambdas into multiple regions so that your application is spread across the globe.
