Region

AWS has data centers in different areas of the world.

Amazon regions:

  • Asia Pacific (Tokyo) ap-northeast-1
  • Asia Pacific (Singapore) ap-southeast-1
  • Asia Pacific (Sydney) ap-southeast-2,
  • EU (Frankfurt) eu-central-1
  • EU (Ireland) eu-west-1
  • South America (Sao Paulo) sa-east-1
  • US East (N. Virginia) us-east-1
  • US West (N. California) us-west-1
  • US West (Oregon) us-west-2
