You can specify the cloud service provider (CSP) locality for Consul server agents and services registered to the service mesh, which enables several benefits: - Consul prioritizes the nearest upstream instances when routing traffic through the mesh. -- When upstream service instances becomes unhealthy, Consul prioritizes failing over to instances that are in the same region as the downstream service. Refer to [Failover](/consul/docs/connect/traffic-management/failover) for additional information about failover strategies in Consul. +- When upstream service instances becomes unhealthy, Consul prioritizes failing over to instances that are in the same region as the downstream service. Refer to [Failover](/consul/docs/connect/manage-traffic/failover) for additional information about failover strategies in Consul. When properly implemented, routing traffic to local upstreams can reduce latency and transfer costs associated with sending requests to other regions.
