What is the difference between metro edge and traditional cloud regions?

Metro edge sites are typically smaller, more distributed, and closer to users than traditional hyperscale cloud regions, which sit in a handful of locations per geography. The latency difference can be the gap between sub-five millisecond responses and 20-plus milliseconds, which matters for real-time applications. For latency-sensitive workloads serving urban populations, metro edge often delivers a meaningfully better experience than the nearest hyperscale region.
