### AI overview

This AWS article explains how Amazon Cognito multi-Region replication supports resilient authentication by replicating user pools across AWS Regions, with eventual consistency, failover, and interoperable sessions and JSON web tokens. It also covers preparation, architecture decisions, and failover strategies for B2C, B2B, and M2M use cases.

### Source excerpt

Your consumer identity and access management (CIAM) system is the foundation of your customer experience. It's how users sign in, access services, and engage with your applications. As your business scales across geographies, ensuring authentication is always available becomes a core architectural requirement. However, building multi-Region authentication has traditionally required complex custom replication solutions that [...]
