AWS Opens New Los Angeles Zone

Amazon Web Services (AWS), the cloud computing service of Amazon, has launched anew Los Angeles zone, which will give local customers and companies much faster access to the AWS cloud. According to AWS, the new zone will provide very low latency (single-digit millisecond) access to application access from Los Angeles and other locations in Southern California. AWS said the new, direct access to AWS will be useful in a number of areas, including media and entertainment (for gaming, 3D modeling, video processing, and other related media processing); electronic design automation; advertising technology and ad serving; and machine learning. The cloud computing service said that instances of AWS sources will have different pricing than in the parent region, but did not detail what the premium on that Los Angeles zone access would be.
