Eucentral1

Eucentral1 is a region identifier used by Amazon Web Services (AWS) to designate a specific geographic location for its data centers. This region is situated in Frankfurt, Germany. AWS regions are independent geographic areas designed to host AWS infrastructure and services. By choosing a region, users can deploy their applications and store their data closer to their end-users, which can improve latency and performance. Eucentral1, being in central Europe, serves customers in that geographical area, as well as those who wish to comply with data residency requirements that mandate data storage within the European Union. AWS offers a wide array of services within each region, including compute, storage, database, and networking capabilities. Customers can select eucentral1 when launching resources to ensure their applications and data are located in this specific European datacenter cluster. The naming convention, "eu" for Europe and "central1" indicating a primary central European location, is standard for AWS region identification.
