This new Region has been highly requested by companies worldwide, and it provides low-latency access to AWS services for those who target customers in South America. The new Sao Paulo Region provides better latency to South America, which enables AWS customers to deliver higher performance services to their South American end-users.

There are different considerations when deciding where to allocate resources with latency and cost being the two obvious ones, but compliance sometimes plays an important role as well. Government and Big Data. One particular early use case for AWS GovCloud (US) will be massive data processing and analytics.

The naming system that we are all most familiar with in the internet is the Domain Name System (DNS) that manages the naming of the many different entities in our global network; its most common use is to map a name to an IP address, but it also provides facilities for aliases, finding mail servers, managing security keys, and much more.

In particular this has been true for applications based on algorithms - often MPI-based - that depend on frequent low-latency communication and/or require significant cross sectional bandwidth. Driving down the cost of Big-Data analytics. No Server Required - Jekyll & Amazon S3. Spot Instances - Increased Control.

As a part of that process, we also realized that there were a number of latency sensitive or location specific use cases like Hadoop, HPC, and testing that would be ideal for Spot.

For example, the most fundamental abstraction trade-off has always been latency versus throughput. Modern CPUs strongly favor lower latency of operations with clock cycles in the nanoseconds and we have built general purpose software architectures that can exploit these low latencies very well. Where to go from here?

Achieving strict consistency can come at a cost in update or read latency, and may result in lower throughput. Lowest read latency. Higher read latency. Driving down the cost of Big-Data analytics. No Server Required - Jekyll & Amazon S3. Consistent read. Stale reads possible. Highest read throughput.
