Amazon debutes first AWS Region in Canada


Amazon launches a new website Services Amazon region, its first in Canada, in Montreal. AWS Region Canada (Central) offers two availability zones of its launch today, which basically means that there are two separate physical data center points separated by a sufficient distance for a physical event that affects one should not affect the other . AWS had a number of Canadian clients but these clients have requested a Canadian infrastructure for some time and have had to settle for using AWS regions located in other geographic areas.

Local installations of AWS mean that customers can do more in terms of performance for critical applications requiring the lowest possible latency and for applications that require data to be stored locally for regulatory or compliance reasons.

Amazon Canada's expansion means that it now offers 40 separate availability zones in 15 regions of the world, with further expansion expected in the work plan for the UK, France and China in the coming months.
