I have a small doubt...Is the zones geographically separated within the region OR a separate cloud within the same DC with independent resources (viz. power, cooling etc). If the same is built across multiple DCs then intra zonal private communication is achieved through seamless integration between VLANs of the account....Do we have any AWS write up on this explaining the zones?Rajshekarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4836510665235566234.post-44419183462614947442012-08-20T09:40:42.356-07:002012-08-20T09:40:42.356-07:00This was a really nice post with examples covered ...This was a really nice post with examples covered (I loved the latency part).<br /><br />I usually transfer data from once EC2 instance to another via s3. And since S3 also has availability across different availability zones, how does latency and price effect in this case?Akashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13518869945231560892noreply@blogger.com
