Difficulty: EasyAWS Global Infrastructure

When designing a deployment strategy on AWS, a cloud practitioner must understand the relationship between AWS Regions and Availability Zones. Which of the following statements are correct regarding these infrastructure components? (Select TWO.)

  1. An AWS Region is a geographic area that contains multiple, isolated Availability Zones.Answer
  2. Availability Zones are distinct physical locations within a Region designed to be isolated from failures in other Availability Zones.Answer
  3. C
    An Availability Zone is a geographical area that contains multiple AWS Regions.
  4. D
    Availability Zones in different Regions are connected via low-latency local network peering by default.
  5. E
    Each AWS Region contains exactly one Availability Zone to ensure data sovereignty.

Answer

An AWS Region is a geographic area that contains multiple, isolated Availability Zones, and Availability Zones are distinct physical locations within a Region designed to be isolated from failures in other Availability Zones.
An AWS Region is a geographic location containing multiple, physically separated Availability Zones. Each Availability Zone is a distinct physical location made of one or more data centers, with redundant power, networking, and connectivity, designed to isolate failures from other zones.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the definitions of AWS Regions and Availability Zones.
An AWS Region represents a geographic territory, while an Availability Zone represents one or more physical data centers within that territory.
Understanding the structural hierarchy is necessary to evaluate the statements.
2
Determine how failure isolation is achieved.
Availability Zones are designed with independent power, cooling, and network connectivity to isolate failures.
This confirms the statement about physical isolation is correct.
