Amazon\u2019s AWS cloud computing service<\/a> today announced<\/a>\u00a0launched a region in Ohio. The aptly-named \u201cUS East (Ohio) Region\u201d brings Amazon\u2019s total region count to 14. The region will feature three separate availability zones for increased fault tolerance. AWS now offers 38 availability zones across its data centers.<\/p>\n

Amazon\u2019s CTO Werner Vogels noted in today\u2019s announcement<\/a>\u00a0that\u00a0this means AWS now runs two regions that mainly serve the U.S. East Coast (the other being in Virginia).\u00a0Because these two East Coast regions are so close \u2014 and essentially serve the same user base \u2014 AWS won\u2019t charge its users for moving data between them. The idea here is to give users more options to create a highly available infrastructure that is more geographically diverse than using a single region while still being close enough to serve all users on the East Coast. Despite being split into different availability zones, a single region could still be hit by a natural disaster that takes all of these zones out at the same time, after all.<\/p>\n

The new region will offer all of AWS\u2019s core services like EC2, S3, RDS and the AWS Marketplace.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe strive to place customer feedback first in our considerations for where to open new regions,\u201d Vogels writes. \u201cThe Ohio Region is no different. Now customers who have been requesting a second US East region have more infrastructure options for running workloads, storing files, running analytics, and managing databases.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amazon\u00a0previously invested in an Ohio wind farm, too. This 100 megawatt farm is currently under construction and will likely go online in May 2017. The company will use at least some of the energy produced there to power its Ohio region.<\/p>\n
