[Local Zones](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regions_az/#AWS_Local_Zones) (e.g.
`us-west-2-lax-1a`) which operate a subset of AWS services.

See [AWS Regional Services List](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regional-product-services/) for
a complete breakdown of service availability by region.

### Reference Architecture Component Availability

Beyond standard AWS services, certain components in the reference architecture have their own regional constraints that
should factor into your primary region decision.

#### RunsOn (Self-Hosted GitHub Runners)

[RunsOn](/layers/github-actions/runs-on/) is our recommended solution for self-hosted GitHub runners. It relies on
[AWS App Runner](https://aws.amazon.com/apprunner/), which is only available in a subset of AWS regions:

- `us-east-1`, `us-east-2`, `us-west-2`
- `eu-central-1`, `eu-west-1`, `eu-west-2`, `eu-west-3`
- `ap-south-1`, `ap-southeast-1`, `ap-southeast-2`, `ap-northeast-1`

Notably, **`us-west-1` does not support App Runner**, and therefore RunsOn cannot be deployed there directly.

If your primary region doesn't support App Runner but you still want to use that region, you'll need to deploy RunsOn
in a supported region and connect it to your primary region. We recommend using Transit Gateway with a cross-region
peering connection for this, though other connectivity options exist. This adds approximately **$80/month** in Transit
Gateway cross-region data transfer costs.

For most deployments, we recommend choosing a primary region that supports App Runner to avoid this additional
complexity and cost.
