After the launch of the AWS APAC (Hong Kong) Region, there will be 19 Availability Zones in Asia Pacific for customers to build flexible, scalable, secure, and highly available applications. This enables customers to serve content to their end users with low latency, giving them the best application experience.

With the ever-growing demands of the internet, websites and web applications face the challenge of delivering content swiftly and efficiently to users worldwide. Latency is a concept that increases with distance, so a signal that has to travel 1,000 KM will be much faster compared to a signal sprinting for that 100,000 KM.

Often these namespaces are hierarchical in nature such that it becomes easier to manage them and to decentralize control, which makes the system more scalable. There are two main types of DNS servers: authoritative servers and caching resolvers.

It is used for capacity planning and scalability analysis. Short durations can be useful for understanding how well a WSS will fit into the CPU caches (L1/L2/L3, TLB L1/L2, etc). For large processes (> 100 Gbytes) this duration of higher latency can last over 1 second, during which this tool is consuming system CPU time.

As I have talked about before, one of the reasons why we built Amazon DynamoDB was that Amazon was pushing the limits of what was a leading commercial database at the time and we were unable to sustain the availability, scalability, and performance needs that our growing Amazon.com business demanded. The opposite is true.
