Availability Zones
refer to technology infrastructure in separate and distinct geographic
locations with enough distance to significantly reduce the risk of a single
event impacting availability, yet near enough for business continuity
applications that require rapid failover. Each Availability Zone has independent
power, cooling, and physical security, and is connected to national backbone
networks via high-speed fiber optic networks. AWS customers focused on high
availability can design their applications to run in multiple Availability
Zones to achieve even higher fault-tolerance. AWS also provides Amazon
CloudFront services at edge locations in Kuala Lumpur, Manila, and Singapore
for customers looking to deliver websites, applications, and content to end
users with lower latency.

“Responding to demand
from local customers and Amazon Partner Network (APN) Partners, AWS is
increasing its commitment to the fast-growing Southeast Asia region by opening
a third Availability Zone, so AWS customers have another local option where
they can run mission-critical workloads and store data,” said Nick Walton,
Managing Director, ASEAN, Amazon Web Services. “For many years, an enthusiastic
base of customers across Southeast Asia have chosen to build their businesses
on AWS because it offers more functionality than other cloud platforms,
including a wide array of database, Internet of Things (IoT), and machine
learning technologies, as well as an extensive APN Partner and customer
ecosystem, and unmatched maturity, security, and performance.”
