AWS Local Zone

AWS announced the opening of an AWS Local Zone in LosAngeles (LA). AWS Local Zones are a new type of AWS infrastructure deploymentthat place compute, storage, database, and other select services close tocustomers, giving developers in LA the ability to deploy applications thatrequire single-digit millisecond latencies to end-users in LA.

Amazon EC2

The cloud giants unveiled nine new Amazon Elastic ComputeCloud (EC2) innovations. AWS added to its industry-leading compute andnetworking innovations with new Arm-based instances (M6g, C6g, R6g) powered byAWS-designed processors in Graviton2, machine learning inference instances(Inf1) powered by AWS-designed Inferentia chips.

AWS Outposts

AWS announced general availability of AWS Outposts, fully managed and configurable compute and storage racks built with AWS-designed hardware that allow customers to run compute and storage on-premises while connecting to AWSs broad array of services in the cloud.

AWS Outposts bring native AWS services, infrastructure, andoperating models to virtually any data centre, co-location space, oron-premises facility.
