Final week, we introduced plans to launch the AWS Asia Pacific (Bangkok) Area, which can turn out to be our third AWS Area in Southeast Asia. This Area could have three Availability Zones and can give AWS clients in Thailand the flexibility to run workloads and retailer information that should stay in-country.
Within the Works – AWS Area in Thailand
With this massive information, AWS introduced a 190 billion baht (US 5 billion {dollars}) funding to drive Thailand’s digital future over the subsequent 15 years.
