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. French organizations were amongst the first to use AWS when we launched in 2006. Today, I am very excited to announce our plans to open a new AWS Region in France!

The epoch of AWS is the launch of Amazon S3 on March 14, 2006, now almost 10 years ago. AWS has developed a unique skill to innovate datacenter layout and operations, such that we can have flexible network infrastructure that can be adapted to meet the needs of our customers’ workloads, whatever they may be. No gatekeepers.
