Amazon's AWS is once more increasing its presence in Europe with a new cloud computing region expected to open in Switzerland in the second half of 2022. The move will further expand the company's large footprint on the continent, with six AWS regions already active in France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Sweden and the UK, and another location launching in Spain by 2023.

Similar to other AWS regions, the new Swiss location will consist of several separated availability zones (AZs), which refer to data centers in different physical locations within a single region. The data centers in each AZ have independent power, cooling and physical security, and are connected by a low-latency network.

Amazon's CTO Werner Vogels, announcing that AWS was coming to Switzerland in a blog post, said: "[...] The upcoming AWS Europe (Zurich) Region will give our customers the choice and flexibility for where to store and process their data," he continued.

Vogels said that more than ten thousand customers in Switzerland already use AWS each month to build up their businesses, including medium-sized firms and start-ups, but also public sector organizations.

Today I’m happy to announce our plans to open a new AWS Region in Switzerland in the second half of 2022.

Amazon Web Services (AWS), the cloud computing arm of e-commerce major Amazon, will invest $2.77 billion in a second cloud infrastructure region in India by mid-2022, as part of its expansion plans to address the growing customer base.

The upcoming AWS Asia Pacific region in Hyderabad is part of Amazon’s continued investments in the country. AWS had launched its Asia Pacific (Mumbai) region in June, 2016 to help customers in India save costs, increase speed-to-market of new products and services, and quickly expand their geographic infrastructure footprint.

“Businesses in India are embracing cloud computing to reduce costs, increase agility, and enable rapid innovation to meet the needs of billions of customers in India and abroad," said Peter DeSantis, senior vice president of global infrastructure and customer support, AWS.

The AWS region in Hyderabad will consist of three availability zones at launch and will join the existing nine AWS regions and 26 availability zones across Asia in India, Australia, Greater China, Japan, Korea, and Singapore.
Availability zones are multiple, isolated locations within each region to reduce the risk of a single event impacting customers’ business continuity. Each availability zone has independent power, cooling, and physical security.
