Each region is completely independent, and thereby improves fault tolerance and stability. After a resource is created, its region cannot be changed.</li><li id="css_02_0034__en-us_topic_0192920412_en-us_topic_0184026189_li45875020473">An AZ is a physical location using independent power supplies and networks. Faults in an AZ do not affect other AZs. A region can contain multiple AZs that are physically isolated but networked together. This enables low-cost and low-latency network connections.</li></ul>
