Cloud - Concept
Region
A broad geographic area where a cloud provider operates one or more data centres
What's it for?
Lets an organisation choose where its online systems and data physically run for speed, resilience or legal reasons.
For example…
Employee data stays in a UK location close to UK users.
A company hosts its UK customer application in a London cloud region to keep latency low and meet its data-location requirements
Think of it like…
Choosing which city your warehouse is in — closer customers get quicker deliveries
