Amazon activated a new AWS Local Zone in Phoenix, Arizona, making a select set of EC2 instance types, EBS volume types, and other AWS services available with single-digit millisecond when accessed locally.
The first AWS Local Zone opened in Los Angeles in 2019.
AWS now operates Local Zones in 16 other parts of the United States and another 17 around the world, 34 in all.
The company says it is planning to build 19 more Local Zones outside of the U.S. Popular use cases include real-time gaming, hybrid migrations, content creation for media & entertainment, live video streaming, engineering simulations, and AR/VR at the edge.
