You can establish PrivateLink connections to access services on Alibaba Cloud. Network traffic does not traverse the Internet when PrivateLink is used. This prevents security risks over the Internet.
Region
A region is a geographic location where Alibaba Cloud data centers are deployed. After a resource is created, you cannot change the region of the resource. Zones are physical locations with independent power supplies and networks within a region. The network latency between instances that are deployed in the same zone is lower than the network latency between instances that are deployed in different zones.
- If your application requires high disaster recovery capabilities, we recommend that you deploy instances in different zones of the same region.
- If your application requires low latency, we recommend that you deploy instances within the same zone.
