Announcing the general availability of a new AWS Local Zone in Hanoi, Vietnam
Today, AWS announces the general availability of a new Local Zone in Hanoi, Vietnam, bringing AWS infrastructure closer to end users. This new Local Zone is one of the first AWS Local Zones in the Asia Pacific with support for Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) and Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) Local Snapshots, enabling customers to meet data residency requirements by storing and backing up data locally.\n AWS Local Zones are AWS infrastructure deployments that extend core services, such as compute, storage, networking, and other select services, closer to metropolitan areas worldwide. AWS Local Zones help you achieve single-digit millisecond latency for end-user workloads, meet data residency requirements, support AI/ML inference workloads, and accelerate migration and modernization of legacy applications to the cloud, all while maintaining consistent AWS APIs, tools, and services as AWS Regions. AWS Local Zones are available in more than 30 metropolitan areas worldwide.
The Hanoi Local Zone supports Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) with C7i, M7i, and R7i instances, Amazon S3 with the One Zone-Infrequent Access storage class, Amazon EBS with Local Snapshots and volume types gp3, gp2, io1, sc1, and st1, Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS), Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS), Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC), AWS Direct Connect, and Application Load Balancer.
To get started, enable the Hanoi Local Zone (ap-southeast-1-han-1a) from the Regions and Zones tab in the AWS Global View or by using the ModifyAvailabilityZoneGroup API. For pricing information, visit the AWS Local Zones pricing page. To learn more, visit the AWS Local Zones overview page.
