The "Important" block in blue that describes region pairing and backups has a typo.
Current text reads:
"Most directions are paired in two directions, meaning they are the backup for the region that provides a backup for them (West US and East US back each other up). However, some regions, such as West India and Brazil South, are paired in only one direction. In a one-direction pairing, the Primary region does not provide backup for its secondary region. So, even though West India’s secondary region is South India, South India does not rely on West India. West India's secondary region is South India, but South India's secondary region is Central India. Brazil South is unique because it's paired with a region outside of its geography. Brazil South's secondary region is South Central US. The secondary region of South Central US isn't Brazil South."
Should read:
Most ***regions ***are paired in two directions, meaning they are the backup for the region that provides..."

Hello, @Simon Chandler !
Thank you for reporting this! This particular typo has been fixed before but it appears there is an issue with auto-sync that is causing this page to be reverted back to an older version. I've notified the content author again so that they can pinpoint the cause of this regression. Thank you again for your report! (And please take a moment to accept answers)
Where am I seeing this?
There appears to be a typo in the last Important section
Here "Most directions are paired in two directions" should be "Most regions are paired in two directions".
