A global retailer deploys identical systems in multiple regions so customers get fast service no matter where they are. Which cloud concept is this?

Geo-distribution refers to deploying resources across multiple geographical regions to bring services closer to users, reducing latency and improving performance. In this scenario, the retailer uses geo-distribution to ensure fast service for customers worldwide by having identical systems in various regions. Fault tolerance is the ability of a system to continue operating despite the failure of one or more components. While important for reliability, it doesn't directly describe the act of deploying systems globally for proximity to users. Agility refers to the ability to respond quickly to changes, such as scaling resources up or down, but it doesn't specifically address the geographic placement of resources. Capital expenditure (CapEx) is the upfront cost of physical infrastructure, which is a financial concept, not a cloud deployment strategy.
