Description

Thoughts on adding a "general" topic on regions?

Things like if your looking to cover all continents, you can look at this region in each continent for service availability/lowest pricing and go from there?

Research direction
Review the existing regions section in the guide (likely in the EC2 or networking chapter). Consider adding a new subsection titled 'General Region Selection' that covers best practices for choosing a region based on service availability, pricing, and latency across continents. Reference the AWS Regional Services list and provide examples of which regions to use for different purposes.
