This topic lists the regions and availability zones (AZs) where Gateway Load Balancer (GWLB) is available.
Regions and availability zones
A region is a geographical area with one or more data centers. After you create a resource, you cannot change its region. An availability zone is a physically isolated location within a region with its own power and network infrastructure.
Each availability zone is isolated from failures in other zones, so a failure in one does not affect the others. All regions are completely independent, and availability zones in different regions are fully isolated.
GWLB ensures service stability and reliability by distributing traffic across availability zones. This balances the workload across your selected zones and provides real-time disaster recovery. A failure in one availability zone does not affect traffic forwarding in other zones.
