AWS Local Zones

Extend AWS services to metro areas across world to run latency-sensitive applications closer to your users and workloads and meet data residency needs for your regulated workloads.

Use the familiar AWS infrastructure, services, APIs, and tools to provide a truly consistent developer and IT operations experience.

You can start small and scale as your needs grow with on-demand scaling and pay-as-you-go pricing.

Deliver high-quality experience for interactive applications that require low latency to your users. Build and deploy applications close to end users in AWS Local Zones across the world to enable real-time gaming, live streaming, augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR), virtual workstations, independent software vendor (ISV) application acceleration, and more.

Data sometimes needs to remain in a particular country, state, or municipality for regulatory, contractual, or information security reasons. This is often the case with betting & gaming, financial services, healthcare, and other highly regulated industries. With AWS Local Zones, you can control where your workloads run and where your data resides, with low-friction movement between cloud and edge locations to easily adapt to regulatory changes.

Legacy on-premises applications often have latency-sensitive system dependencies, making them difficult to migrate. Migrate segments of your applications to a nearby AWS Local Zone, while still meeting the low-latency requirements in the hybrid deployment until you are ready to fully migrate.
