Exam AWS-SysOps topic 1 question 204 discussion

This statement clarifies that while George and Ray are both using the "US-East-1a" identifier, it is important to note that within a region like "us-east-1," availability zones are different and isolated from each other. In this case, even though they are both in "US-East-1a," the availability zones of George and Ray can actually be different physical locations with their own independent infrastructure. This concept emphasizes the importance of using multiple availability zones for higher availability and fault tolerance.

I am not sure of D US-East-1 is the region and us-East-1a is the availability zone For George AZ US-East-1a Location 1 AZ US-East-1b Location 2 AZ US-East-1c Location 3 For Ray AZ US-East-1a Location 4 AZ US-East-1b Location 5 AZ US-East-1c Location 6 So The ec2 instances may have different locations but they will be in same AZ us-east-1a. The above makes A and D wrong. B is also wrong We know that the data-transfer within the same region is no-cost so The correct answer would be C

Correct Answer: D

the Availability Zone us-east-1a for your AWS account might not be the same location as us-east-1a for another AWS account. To coordinate Availability Zones across accounts, you must use the AZ ID, which is a unique and consistent identifier for an Availability Zone. Above info from AZ section in https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/using-regions-availability-zones.html So answer is D

Ans A: "US-East-1a" is one of the N.Virginia AZs which means is the same data center

Could be B. Because that is no US-East-1a region

D. The US-East-1a region of George and Ray can be different availability zones
