This article lists AWS Services with multi-Region capabilities

A multi-Region approach is a reliable way for customers with critical applications to achieve a bounded recovery time for their applications when there is a rare disruption to a service in an AWS Region that is impacting their application, and cannot be recovered from within the same Region. Each AWS Region has strict logical and physical separation from other AWS Regions. This purposeful design ensures that an infrastructure or services disruptions in one Region will not have a correlated failure in another Region. This unique property of AWS Regions can be used to build multi-Region applications with predictable fault domains.

Read the prescriptive guidance for building and running critical workloads across Regions.
