The new AWS Local Zones will deliver single-digit millisecond latency performance at the edge of the cloud to hundreds of millions of people worldwide
Amazon Web Services plans to launch new AWS Local Zones in 32 new locations in 26 countries globally over the next two years. The expansion builds on successfully completing its first 16 AWS Local Zones in the U.S.
AWS Local Zones allow customers to use core AWS services locally while seamlessly connecting to the rest of their workloads running in AWS Regions with the same elasticity, pay-as-you-go model, application programming interfaces (APIs), and toolsets. Local Zones allow customers to gain all the benefits of computing and storage resources closer to end-users, without the need to own and operate their own data centre infrastructure.
The new AWS Local Zones will launch in Amsterdam, Athens, Auckland, Bangkok, Bengaluru, Berlin, Bogota, Brisbane, Brussels, Buenos Aires, Chennai, Copenhagen, Delhi, Hanoi, Helsinki, Johannesburg, Kolkata, Lima, Lisbon, Manila, Munich, Nairobi, Oslo, Perth, Prague, Querétaro, Rio de Janeiro, Santiago, Toronto, Vancouver, Vienna, and Warsaw, delivering single-digit millisecond latency performance at the edge of the cloud to hundreds of millions of people worldwide.
AWS manages and supports Local Zones, which means you do not need to incur the expense and effort of procuring, operating, and maintaining infrastructure in various cities to support low-latency applications.
Netflix, Couchbase, Supercell, and FOX Corporation are among thousands of customers using AWS Local Zones.
