Based in the Paris area, the region will provide even lower latency and will allow users who want to store their content in datacenters in France to easily do so. As a result, we have opened 35 Availability Zones (AZs), across 13 AWS Regions worldwide. French organizations were amongst the first to use AWS when we launched in 2006.

But every year when March 14th comes around, it's a good reminder that Amazon S3 originally launched on Pi Day, March 14, 2006. March 26, 2008 doesn't have any delicious desserts associated with it, but that's the day when we launched Availability Zones for Amazon EC2. How Availability Zones have changed over the years.

The presentation discusses a family of simple performance models that I developed over the last 20 years — originally in support of processor and system design at SGI (1996-1999), IBM (1999-2005), and AMD (2006-2008), but more recently in support of system procurements at The Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) (2009-present).

The epoch of AWS is the launch of Amazon S3 on March 14, 2006, now almost 10 years ago. But we couldn’t adopt the old style approach of upgrading systems through a maintenance outage, as many businesses around the world are relying on our platform for 24/7 availability.
