Enterprises seeking a tool to run applications on AWS infrastructure closer to their end users and workloads
About AWS Local Zones
Run your low latency applications and meet data residency requirements in more locations. Run edge workloads with on-demand scaling and pay-as-you-go pricing. Build and operate with familiar AWS infrastructure, services, APIs, and tools. AWS Local Zones are a type of infrastructure deployment that places select AWS services closer to your end users and workloads. Run applications that require single-digit millisecond latency or local data processing by bringing AWS infrastructure closer to your end users and business centers. Build and deploy applications close to end users to enable real-time gaming, live streaming, augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR), virtual workstations, and more. Migrate your applications to a nearby AWS Local Zone, while still meeting the low-latency requirements of hybrid deployment. Comply with state and local data residency requirements in sectors such as healthcare, financial services, and government.
