This new Region consists of multiple Availability Zones and provides low-latency access to the AWS services from for example the Bay Area. As we announced earlier this month a Region with multiple Availability Zones will come online in Singapore in the first half of 2010, with other regions in Asia to follow later in 2010.

Chip design choices and silicon economics are the defining feature of the still-growing Performance Inequality Gap. Sadly, data on latency is harder to get, even from Google's perch, so progress there is somewhat more difficult to judge. Don't pay a lot for an Android-shaped muffler. Baselines And Budgets Remain Vital.
