US Patent 10404613 Placement of control and data plane resources

Computing resource services have computing resources allocated among regions and data zones, where regions can be completely separate deployments of an infrastructure to provide the highest degree of independence. The more regions that are utilized by a customer, the higher the level of fault tolerance may exist. Current networks consist of heavily distributed infrastructures or mainly centralized infrastructures, both of which can cause complete control plane failures when even a subset of a data zone or region loses network connectivity. The placement of control plane and data plane resources provides for optimal availability and durability during infrastructure failures.
