Availability Zones

Availability Zones are distinct physical locations within a cloud provider's data center network. Each zone is designed to be isolated from failures in other zones, providing high reliability for services. If one zone experiences issues like power outages or natural disasters, the others remain operational, ensuring continuous service availability. This setup allows businesses to distribute their applications and data across multiple zones, enhancing resilience and reducing the risk of downtime. Essentially, Availability Zones are a way for cloud services to offer robust and reliable infrastructure for critical operations.
