KUALA LUMPUR, April 25 (Bernama) -- Amazon Web Services Inc (AWS), an Amazon.com company has opened its AWS Asia Pacific (Hong Kong) Region, spanning 64 Availability Zones within 21 geographic regions worldwide.
AWS has also announced plans for 12 more Availability Zones and four more AWS Regions in Bahrain, Cape Town, Jakarta and Milan.
The AWS Asia Pacific (Hong Kong) Region is the eighth active AWS Region in Asia Pacific and mainland China, along with Beijing, Mumbai, Ningxia, Seoul, Singapore, Sydney and Tokyo.
Developers, startups and enterprises, as well as government, education and non-profit organisations can leverage the new AWS Asia Pacific (Hong Kong) Region to run their applications locally, and serve end-users across Hong Kong with lower latency.
“Hong Kong is globally recognised as a leading financial tech hub and one of the top places where startups build their businesses, so we have had many customers asking us for an AWS Region in Hong Kong so they can build their businesses on the world’s leading cloud with the broadest and deepest feature set,” said AWS Global Infrastructure and Customer Support vice-president, Peter DeSantis.
“By providing an AWS Region in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, we hope this enables more customers to be more agile, innovate and transform their end-user experience for decades to come.”
Additionally, local AWS customers with data residency requirements can now store their content in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region with the assurance that their content will not move without consent.
Customers building applications now have access to another secure AWS infrastructure region that meets the highest levels of security, compliance and data protection.
