#AWS #AwsLocalZones
AWS now supports Zone Groups for Availability Zones
AWS now supports the Zone Groups for Availability Zones across all AWS Regions, making it easier for you to differentiate groups of Local Zones and Availability Zones. Zone Groups were initially launched to help you identify related groups of Local Zones that reside in the same geography. For example, the two interconnected Local Zones in Los Angeles (us-west-2-lax-1a and us-west-2-lax-1b) make up the us-west-2-lax-1 Zone Group. These Zone Groups are used for opting in to the AWS Local Zones. You can now find the Zone Group for Availability Zones for all Regions in the https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/APIReference/API_DescribeAvailabilityZones.html API. For example, the Availability Zones in the US West (Oregon) Region make up the us-west-2-zg-1 Zone GroupName, where us-west-2 indicates the Region, and zg-1 indicates it is the group of AZs in the Region. This new identifier (such as us-west-2-zg-1) has replaced the previous naming (such as us-west-2). For more details, please refer to the https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/new-zone-groups-for-availability-zones-in-aws-regions/ and the visit https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/APIReference/API_DescribeAvailabilityZones.html API documentation.

Introducing Amazon EC2 C6in instances in Chicago and New York City Local Zones
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) C6in instances are now available in the Chicago and New York City Local Zones. C6in instances are powered by 3rd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors with an all-core turbo frequency of up to 3.5 GHz. They are x86-based Amazon EC2 compute-optimized instances offering up to 200 Gbps of network bandwidth. The instances are built on AWS Nitro System, which is a dedicated and lightweight hypervisor that delivers the compute and memory resources of the host hardware to your instances for better overall performance and security. You can take advantage of the higher network bandwidth to scale the performance for a broad range of workloads running in AWS Local Zones. Local Zones are an AWS infrastructure deployment that place compute, storage, database, and other select services closer to large population, industry, and IT centers where no AWS Region exists. You can use Local Zones to run applications that require single-digit millisecond latency for use cases such as real-time gaming, hybrid migrations, media and entertainment content creation, live video streaming, engineering simulations, financial services payment processing, capital market operations, and AR/VR. To get started, you can enable Chicago Local Zone us-east-1-chi-2a and New York City Local Zone us-east-1-nyc-2a , in the https://us-east-1.console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/home?region=us-east-1#Settings:tab=zones;Category=local-zone or the https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/APIReference/API_ModifyAvailabilityZoneGroup.html API, and deployhttps://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/c6i/.

Announcing the general availability of a new AWS Local Zone in New York City
Today, AWS announces the general availability of a new AWS Local Zone in New York City, supporting a wide range of workloads at the edge. This new Local Zone offers Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) C7i, R7i, M6i, and M6in instances and Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume types gp2, gp3, io1, sc1, and st1. You can also access Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS), Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS), Application Load Balancer, AWS Direct Connect, and the microsecond-accurate time of Amazon Time Sync in this new Local Zone to support your workloads at the edge. Local Zones are an AWS infrastructure deployment that place compute, storage, database, and other select services closer to large population, industry, and IT centers where no AWS Region exists. You can use Local Zones to run applications that require single-digit millisecond latency for use cases such as real-time gaming, hybrid migrations, media and entertainment content creation, live video streaming, engineering simulations, financial services payment processing, capital market operations, and AR/VR. Local Zones are available in the US in 17 metro areas and globally in an additional 17 metro areas, allowing you to deliver low-latency applications to end users worldwide. For more information about where other Local Zones are available, visit https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/localzones/locations/.

Amazon EBS launches Local Snapshots for AWS Dedicated Local Zones
You can now use Amazon EBS Local Snapshots in AWS Dedicated Local Zones. Dedicated Local Zones are a type of AWS infrastructure that are fully managed by AWS, built for exclusive use by you or your community, and placed in a location or data center specified by you to help you comply with regulatory requirements. Customers use EBS Snapshots to back up their EBS volumes for disaster recovery, data migration, and compliance purposes. With Local Snapshots, you can now create backups of your EBS volumes in Dedicated Local Zones and store them within the same geographical boundary as your EBS volumes, helping you meet your data isolation and data residency use cases. You can also create Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies for your account to enforce that snapshots are stored within the Dedicated Local Zone. Additionally, you can use Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager (DLM) to automate the creation and retention of local snapshots. Local Snapshots are available through the AWS Console, AWS Command Line Interface (CLI), and AWS SDKs. To learn more, see the https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ebs/latest/userguide/snapshots-localzones.html on Local Snapshots.
