# Choosing a Region
<a name="bobi-linux-choosing-a-region"></a>

When choosing which AWS Region to deploy your SAP environment in you should consider the following topics:
+ Proximity to your on-premises data centers, systems, and end users to minimize network latency.
+ Data residency and compliance requirements.
+ Whether the AWS products and services you plan to use are available in the Region. For a detailed list of AWS products and services by Region, see the [Region Table](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regional-product-services/) page on the AWS website.
+ The Amazon EC2 instances types you plan to use are available in the region. To view AWS Region availability for a specific instance type, see the [Amazon EC2 Instance Types for SAP](https://aws.amazon.com/sap/instance-types/) page.
