About This Tool
The Multi-Cloud Region Checklist provides an interactive planning checklist for deploying applications across multiple regions in AWS, Azure, and GCP. Multi-region deployments involve considerations for data residency, latency, disaster recovery, DNS routing, database replication, and cost. This tool walks you through each consideration with provider-specific guidance and checkboxes so you can track your planning progress and ensure nothing is overlooked when designing a multi-region architecture.
When to Use This Tool
•Plan a multi-region deployment by working through networking, data replication, DNS, and failover considerations for each provider.
•Audit an existing multi-region architecture against best practices to identify gaps in resilience or compliance.
•Prepare for a disaster recovery review by documenting multi-region configurations and failover procedures across clouds.
•Onboard new architects to multi-region design patterns with a structured checklist that covers cross-provider considerations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why would I deploy across multiple regions?
Multi-region deployments provide disaster recovery (surviving a full regional outage), lower latency for global users by serving from nearby regions, and compliance with data residency regulations that require data to stay in specific geographic locations. The trade-off is increased complexity and cost.
Is my checklist progress saved?
Yes. Your progress is saved in your browser's local storage so you can return to the checklist across multiple planning sessions. No account or sign-in is required.
Does this cover active-active and active-passive architectures?
Yes. The checklist includes considerations for both active-active (multiple regions serving traffic simultaneously) and active-passive (one primary region with standby failover regions) architectures, with guidance on when each pattern is appropriate.
