Why Use Cloud Regions in Ardoq?
Mapping cloud regions in Ardoq enables organizations to visualize their multi-cloud footprint, ensure compliance with data residency requirements, optimize latency for global users, and plan disaster recovery across geographic locations. It provides a foundation for infrastructure planning, cost optimization, and regulatory compliance tracking.
How Ardoq Adopts Cloud Regions
Cloud regions are organized hierarchically by geographic area, allowing organizations to map applications, workloads, and data stores to specific locations for compliance and performance analysis.

Provider Coverage
AWS Global Infrastructure: AWS operates regions across all continents with multiple Availability Zones per region. Each region is fully isolated for maximum fault tolerance and stability. For the most current list of AWS regions, visit the AWS Global Infrastructure page.
Azure Global Infrastructure: Azure maintains the largest cloud footprint with 60+ announced regions and 200+ physical data centers worldwide, linked by a high-capacity global network. For current Azure regions, visit the Azure Global Infrastructure page.
Importing Cloud Regions into Ardoq
Access cloud regions through Ardoq's Frameworks & Resources Importer. For step-by-step instructions, see How to use the Frameworks & Resources Importer.
Note: Cloud infrastructure evolves rapidly. Organizations should periodically update their region mappings to reflect new availability zones and regional expansions announced by AWS and Azure.
