This topic describes the regions and zones that support PrivateLink.
Regions and zones
Region: A geographic location where a data center is hosted. You choose a region when creating a resource, and it can't be changed later.
Zone: An isolated physical location within a region with separate power and networking. Zones in the same region are connected by low-latency links.
Guidance:
Use multiple zones in the same region for higher availability and disaster recovery.
Use the same zone for lowest latency between instances.
The following figure shows the relationship between regions and zones.
Regions and zones that support PrivateLink
PrivateLink has two roles: service consumers and service providers.
Service consumers create endpoints to access services.
Service providers create endpoint services using Alibaba Cloud resources, such as Server Load Balancer (SLB) and Elastic Compute Service (ECS), to build services for service consumers.
Service consumers
Use PrivateLink to access Alibaba Cloud services or user-created services. The available regions and zones depend on where these services are enabled.
Service providers
Check the regions and zones that PrivateLink supports based on the service resource type. You can create endpoint services and deploy service resources for service consumers only in the supported regions and zones.
The regions and zones in the following tables are for reference only. For actual availability, verify on the purchase page.
