A Cloud Region is a distinct geographic area in which a cloud provider operates a cluster of data centers, typically comprising multiple isolated availability zones. Customers select a region to place workloads close to users, meet data-residency and sovereignty rules, and control latency; each region is a separate fault domain with its own service catalogue and pricing.
