AWS Local Zones

AWS Local Zones are a type of infrastructure deployment that places compute, storage, database, and other select AWS services close to large population and industry centers. You can use AWS services, like compute and storage services, in the Local Zone to run low-latency applications at the edge or simplify hybrid cloud migrations. Local Zones have local internet ingress and egress to reduce latency, but are also connected to their parent Region through Amazon’s redundant and high-bandwidth private network, giving applications running in AWS Local Zones fast, secure, and seamless access to the full range of services.
