As you learned earlier, AWS servers are housed in data centers around the world and organized by geographical region. You'll generally want to launch an EC2 instance in the region that's physically closest to the majority of your customers or, if you're working with data that's subject to legal restrictions, within a jurisdiction that meets your compliance needs.

EC2 resources can be managed only when you're “located within” their region. You set the active region in the console through the drop‐down menu at the top of the page and through default configuration values in the AWS CLI or your SDK. You can update your CLI configuration by running aws configure.

Bear in mind that the costs and even functionality of services and features might vary between regions. It's always a good idea to consult the most up‐to‐date official documentation.
