Which of the following AWS regions is NOT accessible by all customers?

North Virginia
GovCloud
California
Ohio

The correct answer is: GovCloud

The GovCloud region is specifically designed for U.S. government agencies and customers that need to meet strict compliance requirements, such as those related to data sovereignty and cyber security. This region is restricted and not available to all AWS customers; only those that meet certain eligibility criteria, including U.S. persons and entities that comply with specific government requirements, can access it. In contrast, the other regions mentioned—North Virginia, California, and Ohio—are generally accessible to all AWS customers around the world. These regions do not have the same restrictions and can accommodate a wide range of applications and services for various customer types. Therefore, the uniqueness of the GovCloud region lies in its purpose-built availability for governmental compliance, making it the correct answer to the question regarding accessibility.
