Answer
- Services Availability: not all service (and all their features) are available in every region
- Reduced latency: deploy application in a region that is close to customers
- Compliance: some countries have more strict rules and requirements such as making sure the data stays within the borders of the country or the region. In that case, only specific region can be used for running the application
- Pricing: the pricing might not be consistent across regions so, the price for the same service in different regions might be different.
