Learn about Geos, Regions, and Availability Zones
CoreWeave offers compute in multiple geographically diverse locations to ensure high availability and resilience for your applications. These locations are organized into Geos, Regions, and Availability Zones.
Geo
A Geo covers multiple Regions, facilitating global service distribution and disaster recovery. At CoreWeave, the term Geo defines an entire continent, ensuring comprehensive coverage and reliability for global operations.
For example, all Regions in the United States are in the US
Geo.
Region
An area within a Geo that contains multiple Availability Zones (AZs). Regions provide redundancy and failover capabilities by allowing workloads to be distributed across multiple AZs. Regions are strategically placed to offer low latency, high-performance connectivity, and meet data residency requirements.
For example, in US-EAST-05
, the Geo is US
and the Region is EAST-05
.
Availability Zone
An AZ is a partition within a Region that hosts one or more data halls. AZs are physically and operationally independent from each other to prevent failures from propagating across them.
For example, in the US-EAST-05
Region, Availability Zone a
is named US-EAST-05a
