What is an Azure geography?

An Azure geography is a discrete market that contains one or more Azure regions. Geography boundaries help Microsoft offer regional data residency, compliance, and service availability options.

Azure geography vs. region

These infrastructure terms describe different levels of Azure location and resiliency.

Geography: A market and data-residency boundary containing one or more regions.
Region: A latency-defined deployment location made up of datacenters connected by a regional network.
Availability zone: A physically separated group of datacenters within a region, where supported.
Region pair: A documented relationship used by some Azure services for replication or recovery sequencing.
