cloud IaaS market during 2017 Source: IDC estimates, 2018
AWS is the leader in Windows workloads

Amazon global network
• Redundant 100-GbE network
• Private network capacity between
all AWS Regions, except China
Global network
AWS global infrastructure
• Twenty-one Regions with 66 Availability Zones
• Four Regions coming soon: Bahrain,
Cape Town, Jakarta, and Milan.
169 Points of presence (PoPs)
• 158 edge locations
• 11 regional edge caches

Why we have a backbone network?

AWS Region design
AWS Regions are comprised of multiple AZs for high availability, high scalability,
and high fault tolerance. Applications and data are replicated in real time and
consistent in the different AZs
AWS Availability Zone (AZ)
A Region is a physical location in the world
where we have multiple Availability Zones.
Availability Zones consist of one or more discrete data centers,
each with redundant power, networking, and connectivity,
housed in separate facilities.
AZ

AWS Region

AWS Availability Zone (AZ) design
• Fully isolated infrastructure with
one or more data centers
• Meaningful distance of separation
• Unique power infrastructure
• Many hundreds of thousands of
servers at scale
• Data centers connected via fully
redundant and isolated metro fiber

High availability ensures higher resiliency
AWS had 7x fewer
downtime hours!
Jan 01, 2018 – December 31, 2018
*Based on downtime hours from 1/1/18 to 12/31/18, pulled directly from the public service health dashboards of the major cloud providers
