- A Region has atleast two Availability Zones (AZ)
- Every region is physically isolated from and independent of every other region in terms of Location, Power, Water supply etc.
- US-East is the largest Region in AWS Global Infrastructure map.

- Not all services are available in all regions
- US-East-1 is the region where one can see all one’s billing information
