Cloud Provider Map

Overview

Cloud Provider Map is an interactive visualization tool that displays datacenter locations from major cloud providers across the globe. This tool helps developers, architects, and IT professionals explore and compare the geographic distribution of cloud infrastructure from providers including AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, IBM Cloud, Oracle Cloud, and Alibaba Cloud.

Purpose

The primary goals of this tool are to:

  • Visualize Global Infrastructure: See at a glance where major cloud providers have established their datacenters
  • Compare Provider Coverage: Understand which providers have presence in specific regions or countries
  • Explore Location Types: Learn about different infrastructure types (Regions, Edge Locations, Local Zones, Availability Zones)
  • Support Decision Making: Help inform cloud provider selection based on geographic requirements
  • Educational Resource: Provide clear definitions of how each provider categorizes their infrastructure

Features

Interactive Map

  • Global View: Pan and zoom across a world map showing all datacenter locations
  • Color-Coded Markers: Each cloud provider has a distinct color for easy identification
  • Pin-Style Icons: Custom markers with provider-specific colors and location-type icons
  • Click for Details: Select any marker to view detailed information about that location

Advanced Filtering

  • Provider Selection: Toggle individual cloud providers on/off
  • Location Type Filtering: Filter by infrastructure type (Region, Edge Location, etc.)
  • Independent Controls: Each provider's location types can be filtered independently
  • Persistent Filters: Your filter preferences are saved between sessions

Information Panel

  • Location Details: View name, provider, type, location, and available services
  • Provider Definitions: See how each provider defines their infrastructure types
  • Overview Statistics: When no location is selected, view aggregate statistics including:
    • Total visible locations
    • Breakdown by provider
    • Breakdown by location type
    • Geographic distribution

Reset Functionality

  • Quick Reset: Two reset buttons allow you to instantly restore all filters and clear selections
  • Fresh Start: Return to the default view showing all providers and location types

How to Use

Getting Started

  1. Open the Website: Navigate to the Cloud Provider Map in your web browser

  4. Click the arrow icon to expand/collapse the provider's location types

By Location Type

  1. Expand a provider by clicking anywhere on their header row

  3. Check/uncheck individual location types to filter what appears on the map
  4. Each provider's location types are controlled independently

Understanding Location Types

  • Region: Primary datacenter locations with full service availability
  • Edge Location: Content delivery and caching locations for low-latency access
  • Local Zone: Extensions of regions for ultra-low latency applications
  • Availability Zone: Isolated locations within a region for high availability

Note: Hover over the info icon (ⓘ) next to each location type to see provider-specific definitions

    • Location name and geographic details
    • Provider and infrastructure type
    • Provider-specific definition of the location type
    • Link to view available services (when applicable)

  2. View Summary: The information panel shows:
    • Total number of visible locations
    • Count of locations per provider
    • Count of locations per type
