A worked example

Shown solved, with the whole explanation open: this is what every question here carries.

3-2Cloud Technology and Services

A team creates a DB instance in eu-west-1 and expects to see it listed in us-east-1. Why does it not appear there?

Each Region is isolated from the othersCorrect · your answerCorrect. Each AWS Region is designed to be isolated from the other AWS Regions, and resources are not automatically replicated across them.
Console caching delays the listingThe console reads the same regional endpoint the CLI does. Refreshing will not surface something that was never created in that Region.
The instance is still provisioningProvisioning time affects status, not location. The instance would show as creating in its own Region long before it finished.
Cross-Region views need an IAM policyPermissions decide what you may do in a Region. They never merge two Regions into a single view of your inventory.

Correct.

Concept

Geographic separation only buys fault isolation if the boundary is real. A provider that quietly synchronizes state between sites has sold you one large failure domain wearing several names.

Why A

Resources belong to the Region they were created in and are not copied elsewhere unless you arrange it. A list call runs against whichever Region you are pointed at and returns only what lives there.

Source

Each AWS Region is designed to be isolated from the other AWS Regions. This design achieves the greatest possible fault tolerance and stability. When you view your resources, you see only the resources that are tied to the AWS Region that you specified. This is because AWS Regions are isolated from each other, and we don't automatically replicate resources across AWS Regions…
