Azure provides over 60 regions globally, that are located across many different geographies. Each region is a set of physical facilities that include datacenters and networking infrastructure. All regions may be divided into geographical areas called *geographies*. Each geography is a data residency boundary, and may contain one or more regions.

Each geography represents a data residency boundary, for example the United States, or Europe, and may contain one or more regions.

Many regions provide certain types of resiliency options, such as [availability zones](./availability-zones-overview.md), region pairs, and nonpaired regions. When you choose a region for your services, it's important to pay attention to the resiliency options that are available in that region. This article helps you understand Azure regions, and gives you an overview of the resiliency options that some Azure regions support, while offering links to more detailed information on each topic.

# Azure region pairs and nonpaired regions
1414

Azure regions are independent of each other. However, Microsoft associates some Azure regions with another region, where both are usually in the same geography. Together the regions form a *region pair*. Many other regions aren't paired, and instead use availability zones as their primary means of redundancy. This article describes both how nonpaired regions and region pairs are used in Azure.

Region pairs are used by some Azure services to support geo-replication and geo-redundancy, and to support some aspects of disaster recovery in the unlikely event that a region experiences a catastrophic and unrecoverable failure.
