Benefits of the AWS Global Infrastructure

AWS is architected to be the most secure global cloud infrastructure so that you can build and run your applications with confidence. With each AWS Region consisting of at least three independent, physically separate Availability Zones (AZs), AWS delivers the highest availability and reliability for your applications.

AWS provides unmatched scalability with more combined Regions, Availability Zones, and Points of Presence than any other cloud provider. With more than 6 million kilometers of terrestrial and subsea fiber optic cabling, AWS’s global network provides faster data transfers, lower latency, and increased performance for all your applications.

AWS provides a wide range of infrastructure offerings that deliver consistent cloud experience for your applications in the cloud, on-premises, or at the edge. With Regions, Local Zones, Dedicated Local Zones, CloudFront, Outposts, and Wavelength, you’re empowered to run your workloads wherever you want. 

AWS infrastructure is designed to deliver high performance and efficiency. AWS has innovated to maximize how power is used in data centers by optimizing how racks are positioned, using generative AI powered software that predicts the most efficient way to reduce the amount of unused or underutilized power.
