Regions and AZs
Last updated: 2025-02-07 17:40:29
The IDCs hosted by CloudDB are distributed in multiple positions around the world. These position nodes are called Regions, and each region is composed of multiple Availability Zones. Each Region is a separate geographical area. There are multiple isolated positions in each region, which are called Availability Zones. Each availability zone is independent, but the Availability Zones in the same region are connected through the low-latency private network link. Clouds support users to allocate cloud resources in different positions. It is recommended that users consider placing resources in different availability zones when designing the system, to shield service unavailability status caused by single-point failures.
Names of Regions and Availability Zones directly reflect the coverage of IDCs. To facilitate customers' understanding, the naming rules are as follows:
The structure of Coverage + Located City of IDC is adopted for region naming. The first half represents the coverage capacity of the IDC, and the second half represents the city where the IDC is located or nearby.
Availability Zone naming adopts the structure of City + Number.
Region
Tencent Cloud regions are completely isolated from each other to ensure their maximum stability and fault tolerance. It is recommended that you select the region closest to your users to reduce access latency and improve download speed. Users' operations such as launching or viewing instances are differentiated by regional attributes.
Precautions for private network communication of cloud products are as follows:
Cloud resources in the same region (within the same account and VPC) can be interconnected through the private network, which can be accessed directly using Private IP address.
The networks of different regions are completely isolated from each other, and cloud products in different regions cannot be interconnected over the private network by default.
Cloud products in different regions can communicate with each other by accessing the Internet through public IP addresses, while those in different private networks can communicate with each other through Cloud Connect Network, which is a relatively high-speed and stable communication method.
Cloud Load Balancer (CLB) currently supports same-region traffic forwarding and the binding of cloud servers in the local region by default. If you enable the cross-region binding feature, CLB can support the cross-region binding of cloud servers.
AZ
An availability zone (AZ) is a physical IDC of Tencent Cloud with independent power supply and network in the same region. It can ensure continuous business stability, as faults (except for major disasters or power faults) in one AZ are isolated without affecting other AZs in the same region. By starting an instance in an independent AZ, users can protect their applications from being affected by a single-point fault. Users can choose any AZ within a specified region when launching an instance. To design a highly reliable application system (ensuring service availability when an instance fails), users can use cross-AZ deployment schemes (such as CLB and Elastic IP), so that instances in another AZ can handle related requests.
