Amazon unveils Cloud regions in Southeast Asia for secured data, confirms CTO
In an exclusive interview, Amazon Chief Technology Officer Werner Vogels stated that Amazon is opening cloud regions in Southeast Asia as the customers want their data to be securely stored in their own countries.
Amazon’s distributed cloud computing division, Amazon Web services, was the world’s biggest cloud specialist co-op in the final quarter, representing 31% of all out cloud spending, as per a Feb. 26 report from Canalys.
Expressing his views, Werner Vogels states, "The reason for this is that many of our customers have been asking for that. They really wanted something local such that they can meet, for example, local data storage requirements, or protection of personal identifiable information”.
"And it's not just startups that are looking for that. Big enterprises and government agencies as well. You can imagine government agencies want to go through a digital transformation as well,
"And for them, it's important to have these kinds of technologies on the ground, in [the] country to make sure that they can serve their customers best or their citizens best”, Vogels added.
An AWS region is an actual place where data servers & centres are grouped. There are at least three distinct availability zones in each AWS zones. Each zone has its own power, cooling and actual physical security and is associated through repetitive, super low-latency connections.
In the month of November, Amazon said it is presenting a new AWS Region in Malaysia this year. It had previously dedicated a $6 billion investment of 25.5 billion Malaysian ringgit to support the government’s goal of making Malaysia a “high-income” digital economy by 2030.
This comes after AWS launched a cloud region in Indonesia in December 2021 and in Singapore in 2010. Additionally, AWS intends to establish a Thailand infrastructure region. AWS as of now works numerous areas across North America, South America, Europe, China, Asia Pacific, South Africa and the Middle East.
