AWS, JavaScript, React - Deploy Web Apps on the Cloud - Global Versus Regional Services Example

The video tutorial explains the difference between AWS global and regional services using IAM and EC2 as examples. It presents a case study of a software company migrating to AWS, highlighting the importance of selecting appropriate services based on geographic proximity and user requirements. The tutorial covers how IAM, a global service, manages user permissions, while EC2, a regional service, offers flexibility in data center selection. It also discusses deploying resources and managing web traffic using Route 53 and CloudFront.

What is a key characteristic of a global service in AWS?
