Speaking of AWS News …
Speaking of AWS and investment, the company is funneling billions of dollars into Malaysia.
The world’s largest public cloud computing provider said on March 1 it will launch data center presence in the Southeast Asian country. AWS intends to spend $6 billion on the effort by 2037. It’s a big deal for both the provider and the people of Malaysia.
“Bringing access to … AWS infrastructure, advanced technologies and cloud skills programs to Malaysia will unlock opportunities for local businesses of all sizes to build and expand globally, cultivate a highly skilled workforce, spur new job creation, and deliver long-term economic growth,” Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, Prime Minister of Malaysia, said in a press release.
The new AWS Region initially will feature three Availability Zones, or infrastructure in separate locations for business continuity purposes. At the same time, AWS keeps these zones close enough to each other to ensure low latency.
