AWS Local Zones

Looking to speed up your web app by running it closer to where your users are?

Then you will want to check out AWS Local Zones.

In some cases, AWS customers observed an 80% reduction in latency.

Looking to run your AI load in a local zone? They have beefy GPU clusters for training … in 3 local zones.

But you can run inference in about 30 zones.

The pricing has a little markup compared to services inside the main regions but still looks competitive compared to other providers.

Unfortunately, they don’t support Fargate, but you should still be able to use ECS to orchestrate Docker tasks on an EC2 instance running in a local zone.

Sadly, I have not seen any documentation leading me to believe you can run Lambdas in a Local Zone, but I am sure as soon as I publish this, they will release that functionality.

Are you looking to speed up your slow website? I would be happy to help.

Let’s set up a time to chat.
