AWS Global Infrastructure

The most secure, all-encompassing, and reliable Global Cloud Infrastructure, for all your applications

Why Cloud Infrastructure Matters

The AWS Global Cloud Infrastructure is the nearly secure, extensive, and reliable cloud platform, offering over 200 fully featured services from data centers globally. Whether you need to deploy your application workloads across the globe in a single click, or you want to build and deploy specific applications closer to your stop-users with single-digit millisecond latency, AWS provides yous the deject infrastructure where and when you need information technology.

With millions of active customers and tens of thousands of partners globally, AWS has the largest and most dynamic ecosystem. Customers across virtually every industry and of every size, including offset-ups, enterprises, and public sector organizations, are running every imaginable employ case on AWS.

Customers are increasingly choosing AWS to host their cloud-based infrastructure and realize increased functioning, security, reliability, and scale wherever they get. For the 11th yr in a row, AWS is evaluated as a Leader in the 2021 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Cloud Infrastructure and Platform Services, placed highest in both axes of measurement— Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision— among the top 7 vendors named in the report.

Benefits

Security

Security at AWS starts with our core infrastructure. Custom-built for the deject and designed to meet the near stringent security requirements in the world, our infrastructure is monitored 24/7 to aid ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your information. All data flowing across the AWS global network that interconnects our datacenters and Regions is automatically encrypted at the concrete layer before it leaves our secured facilities. You can build on the most secure global infrastructure, knowing you always control your data, including the power to encrypt it, move it, and manage retention at any time.

Availability

AWS delivers the highest network availability of any cloud provider. Each region is fully isolated and comprised of multiple AZs, which are fully isolated partitions of our infrastructure. To better isolate whatsoever issues and attain high availability, you lot can segmentation applications across multiple AZs in the same region. In addition, AWS control planes and the AWS management console are distributed beyond regions, and include regional API endpoints, which are designed to operate securely for at to the lowest degree 24 hours if isolated from the global command plane functions without requiring customers to access the region or its API endpoints via external networks during any isolation.

Performance

The AWS Global Infrastructure is built for performance. AWS Regions offer low latency, low parcel loss, and loftier overall network quality. This is achieved with a fully redundant 100 GbE cobweb network backbone, oftentimes providing many terabits of chapters between Regions. AWS Local Zones and AWS Wavelength, with our telco providers, provide performance for applications that crave single-digit millisecond latencies by delivering AWS infrastructure and services closer to terminate-users and 5G connected devices. Whatever your awarding needs, y'all can quickly spin up resource as yous need them, deploying hundreds or even thousands of servers in minutes.

Global Footprint

AWS has the largest global infrastructure footprint of whatever provider, and this footprint is constantly increasing at a significant rate. When deploying your applications and workloads to the cloud, you have the flexibility in selecting a technology infrastructure that is closest to your master target of users. You lot can run your workloads on the cloud that delivers the all-time support for the broadest set up of applications, even those with the highest throughput and lowest latency requirements. And If your information lives off this planet, you can utilize AWS Ground Station, which provides satellite antennas in close proximity to AWS infrastructure Regions.

Scalability

The AWS Global Infrastructure enables companies to be extremely flexible and take reward of the conceptually infinite scalability of the deject. Customers used to over provision to ensure they had plenty capacity to handle their business organization operations at the peak level of activity. Now, they can provision the amount of resources that they really need, knowing they can instantly scale up or down forth with the needs of their business, which also reduces price and improves the customer'south ability to encounter their user'south demands. Companies can chop-chop spin up resources equally they need them, deploying hundreds or fifty-fifty thousands of servers in minutes.

Flexibility

The AWS Global Infrastructure gives you the flexibility of choosing how and where you want to run your workloads, and when you do you are using the same network, control plane, API'south, and AWS services. If you would like to run your applications globally you can choose from any of the AWS Regions and AZs. If you demand to run your applications with single-digit millisecond latencies to mobile devices and stop-users you tin choose AWS Local Zones or AWS Wavelength. Or if y'all would like to run your applications on-premises you can choose AWS Outposts.
