The official statement from Amazon mentions that Amazon Web Service (AWS) Asia Pacific will arrive in Jakarta by the end of 2021 or early 2022

Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), an Amazon.com company (NASDAQ: AMZN), announced yesterday that it will open a new Asia Pacific infrastructure in Jakarta, Indonesia by the end of 2021 or early 2022.

The selected region will have three Availability Zones at launch, and will be AWS’s ninth region in the Asia Pacific after joining existing ones in Beijing, Mumbai, Ningxia, Seoul, Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo, and an upcoming region in Hong Kong SAR.

The company said that it seeks to enable customers to run workloads in Indonesia and serve millions of end-users across the Asia Pacific with lower latency.

“We believe that opening an AWS Region in Indonesia will support the country’s fast-growing startup ecosystem, large Indonesian enterprises, and government agencies by helping drive more technology jobs and businesses, boosting the local economy, and enabling organisations across all verticals to lower costs, increase agility, and improve flexibility,” said Peter DeSantis, Vice President of Global Infrastructure and Customer Support, Amazon Web Services.

AWS Regions are comprised of Availability Zones, which are technology infrastructure in separate and distinct geographic locations. They’re set to have enough distance to significantly reduce the risk of a single event impacting business continuity, yet near enough to provide low latency for high availability applications with each independent power, cooling, and physical security.

AWS customers focussed on high availability can design their applications to run in multiple Availability Zones to achieve even greater fault-tolerance.

Indonesian organizations from startups to enterprises and the public sector will have an infrastructure in their country to leverage advanced technologies from Amazon with the suite of cloud services including analytics, artificial intelligence, database, Internet of Things (IoT), machine learning, mobile services, serverless, and more to drive innovation.

Currently, AWS provides 61 Availability Zones across 20 infrastructure regions worldwide, with another 12 Availability Zones across four AWS Regions in Bahrain, Hong Kong SAR, Italy, and South Africa expected to come online by the first half of 2020.
