Availability zones are close enough to have low-latency connections to other availability zones. They\u2019re connected by a high-performance network with a round-trip latency of less than 2ms. However, availability zones are far enough apart to reduce the likelihood that more than one will be affected by local outages or weather. Availability zones have independent power, cooling, and networking infrastructure. They\u2019re designed so that if one zone experiences an outage, then regional services, capacity, and high availability are supported by the remaining zones.
