AWS to Azure Region Mapping — Complete Code Reference
Map AWS region codes to their Azure equivalents. Side-by-side reference of us-east-1 to eastus, eu-west-1 to northeurope, and all major region pairs.
Detailed Explanation
AWS to Azure Region Code Mapping
When migrating workloads between AWS and Azure, or building a multi-cloud architecture, you need to know the equivalent region codes across providers. This reference maps the most commonly used AWS regions to their closest Azure counterparts.

Naming Convention Differences
- AWS: Uses geographic compass format like
us-east-1,eu-west-2,ap-northeast-1 - Azure: Uses descriptive names like
eastus,northeurope,southeastasia
Important Notes
Not every AWS region has a direct Azure equivalent in the same city. In some cases, the closest Azure region may be in a neighboring city or country. The mappings above represent the closest geographic matches.
CLI Usage Examples
# AWS CLI
aws s3 ls --region us-east-1
# Azure CLI (equivalent)
az storage account list --query "[?location=='eastus']"
Use Case
Migrating a workload from AWS to Azure or building a multi-cloud deployment that uses AWS as primary and Azure as a failover provider, requiring region code translation for infrastructure-as-code templates.
