When signing up for a new Snowflake Account, enrollees first choose a cloud infrastructure provider and then a
region. When choosing Azure, an enrollee might then choose the "Australia East" region. When choosing AWS,
the "Australia East" region is not listed. Instead, a region called, "Asia Pacific (Sydney)" is listed. Why?

Snowflake does not allow AWS-based Accounts to use the "Asia Pacific (Sydney)" region.

Snowflake retired the "Australia East" region before AWS-based accounts were in use.
 Each cloud provider maintains its own regions and names the regions as they see fit.

The availability zones in "Asia Pacific (Sydney)" are incompatible with Azure partition sizes.
