PrivateLink:Regions and zones that support PrivateLink

Last Updated:Jun 26, 2026

This topic describes the regions and zones (Availability Zones or AZs) that PrivateLink supports.

Regions and zones

A region is a geographical area where data centers are located. You cannot change the region of a resource after it is created. A zone is a physical area within a region that has independent power and networking. Instances in the same zone have lower network latency.

Each region is completely independent. Each zone is fully isolated. However, zones within the same region are connected through low-latency links.

Zones within the same region can communicate with each other over the internal network. Fault isolation is implemented between zones. If one zone fails, other zones are not affected. Whether to place instances in the same zone depends on your requirements for disaster recovery and network latency.

  • If your application requires high disaster recovery capabilities, you can deploy your instances in different zones within the same region.

  • If your application requires low network latency between instances, you can deploy your instances in the same zone.

The following figure shows the relationship between regions and zones.

Regions and zones that support PrivateLink

PrivateLink has two types of users: service consumers and service providers.

  • Service consumers are users who create endpoints to access services.

  • Service providers are users who create endpoint services and use Alibaba Cloud resources, such as Server Load Balancer (SLB) and ECS, to build services for service consumers.

Service consumers

As a service consumer, you can 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

As a service provider, you must check the supported regions and zones for PrivateLink 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.

Note

The regions and zones listed in the following tables are for reference only. For the actual supported regions and zones, see the purchase page.
