Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced the opening of the AWS Middle East (Bahrain) Region. With this launch, AWS now spans 69 Availability Zones within 22 geographic regions around the world, and has announced plans for nine more Availability Zones across three more AWS Regions in Indonesia, Italy, and South Africa.

The new AWS Middle East (Bahrain) Region offers three Availability Zones at launch.

AWS Regions are composed of Availability Zones, which each comprise at least one data center and are located in separate and distinct geographic locations with enough distance to significantly reduce the risk of a single event impacting business continuity, yet near enough to provide low latency for high availability applications. Each Availability Zone has independent power, cooling, and physical security and is connected via redundant, ultra-low-latency networks.

AWS customers focused on high availability can design their applications to run in multiple Availability Zones to achieve even greater fault-tolerance.AWS infrastructure Regions meet the highest levels of security, compliance, and data protection.
