Amazon is opening cloud regions in Southeast Asia to meet customer demand, CTO says
Amazon Web Services Was The World’s Largest Cloud Service Provider in the Fourth Quarter, Accounting For 31% of Total Cloud Spending
Amazon is opening cloud regions in Southeast Asia because customers want their data stored securely in their own countries, Amazon Chief Technology Officer Werner Vogels said in an exclusive interview.
“The reason for this is that many of our customers have been asking for that. They really wanted something local such that they can meet, for example, local data storage requirements, or protection of personal identifiable information,” Vogels told CNBC’s JP Ong.
Amazon’s cloud computing division, Amazon Web Services, was the world’s largest cloud service provider in the fourth quarter, accounting for 31% of total cloud spending, according to a Feb. 26 report from Canalys.
