Azure Datacenters and Regions Azure Global Infrastructure Map infrastructuremap.microsoft.com
Azure Regions Microsoft groups its global data centers primarily into
regions.
Azure Regions A region is the union of multiple data
center locations that are grouped together. Primarilybased on latency.
Azure Regions Today, Microsoft has more than 60 regions in
over 140 countries.
Azure Availability Zones Physical locations that are always located within
a region. Each zone spans at least one data center.
Azure Data Centers More than 220 data centers offer more
than 200 different products to match your specific needs.
Azure Edges / Point of Presence Additionally, Microsoft operates more
than 180 Edge / POP sites to be as close to metropolitan areas as possible to optimize latency and load.
Azure Edges / Point of Presence POP Sites are locations
managed by Microsoft. The idea is to enter the Microsoft Global Azure Network as fast as possible.
Azure Edges / Point of Presence In addition to the
gateway into the Microsoft network, services are also hosted directly, for example Azure CDN. This takes load off the global network and delivers (ex. static content) more reliable and faster.
Azure Sustainability Microsoft invests immensely in the sustainable operation of
its data centers as well as in itself. Carbon Benefits of Cloud Computing https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/global-infrastructure/sustainability/
