Regions, regional pairs, and sovereign regions in Azure

“

- Let's talk about Regions, Region Pairs and Sovereign Regions in Azure. To explain Regions we need to describe geographies, and geographies is an area that is bounded geographically speaking, and that may contain one or more Regions. There's a one to many relationship between geographies and Regions. A Region has one or more data centers which contain all the required infrastructure to run thousands of servers where we can provision our cloud resources. And this webpage, you can see the entire list of geographies at the time of this recording. So for instance, if I select the United States geography you can see all the different Regions that belong to that geography. Such as, Central US, East US, East US two, and so on. As I said, a Region has one or more datacenters and they're deployed within a latency-defined perimeter and they're connected through a dedicated regional low-latency network. In other words, connectivity between datacenters in the same region is super fast and also the connectivity between Regions and their Pairs. What's a Region Pair? Well, actually, each Azure Region is paired with another region. This is for replication purposes for high availability scenarios. On the other hand, Sovereign Regions are dedicated to specific sovereign entities such as Azure Government - US, Azure China, Azure Australia, Azure Germany as well, and they're isolated from the rest of Azure. In other words, you can deploy applications to those Sovereign Regions. There are specific entities and companies that can do that. In addition, they're not necessarily managed by Microsoft. This is important because you can get the question about this in your AC 900 exam. Okay, So here are some practice questions for you. Which two customers can use Azure Government - US to develop a cloud solution? And the answer is of course US government entities and US government contractors because those are the certified entities and companies that can deploy and create and manage solutions in that specific Azure Government - US Sovereign Region. Here's another practice question, An Azure region has only one datacenter. Is this true or is this false? Of course this is false, because an Azure Region can have one or more datacenters.
