Amazon Web Services (AWS) operates a global cloud computing infrastructure platform that provides over 200 services from data centers distributed across multiple geographic regions worldwide. The company's infrastructure consists of 37 operational regions with 117 Availability Zones, over 700 CloudFront Points of Presence (POPs), and 43 Local Zones and Wavelength Zones designed for low-latency applications. AWS provides cloud infrastructure services that include compute, storage, networking, databases, analytics, machine learning, and security capabilities. The platform is built on a foundation of physically isolated Availability Zones within each region, designed to provide high availability and fault isolation for applications. Each AWS Region contains at least three physically separated Availability Zones, and regions themselves are isolated and independent from one another. The infrastructure incorporates security measures including automatic physical encryption of data traversing the global network before it leaves data centers. AWS serves customers across various industries including startups, enterprises, and government organizations. The platform offers deployment flexibility, allowing customers to run workloads globally or deploy applications close to end users for reduced latency. AWS provides specialized infrastructure options including AWS Local Zones for mobile applications requiring millisecond latency, AWS Wavelength for 5G edge computing, AWS Outposts for on-premises deployments, and AWS GovCloud regions for government and regulated industries. The infrastructure connects regions through high-capacity 400 GbE fiber optic network paths operating at terabit-scale capacity.
