A company has an application that runs across multiple AWS Regions.

Distributed Tracing with X-Ray: X-Ray helps visualize request paths and identify bottlenecks in applications distributed across Regions.

Region Annotations (Automatic for AWS Services): X-Ray automatically adds a Region annotation to segments representing calls to AWS services. This aids in tracing cross-Region traffic.

Region Annotations (Manual for User-Defined): For segments representing calls to user-defined services in different Regions, the developer needs to add the Region annotation manually to enable comprehensive tracing.
