Last updated Aug 17, 2023 Edit Source

Local Zones are data-centers located very close to a densely populated area to provide single-digit millisecond low latency performance (eg. 7ms) for that area. #aws-service

Example

• Los Angeles is an extension to us-west
  • So identifier would be us-west-2-lax-1a

• To use a Local Zone, you must opt in (not available by default)
• Only Specific services are available on local zones.
