AWS Invests New Region in Indonesia, So What’s Next ?


The new AWS Asia Pacific (Jakarta) Region will consist of three Availability Zones at launch, and will be AWS’s ninth region in Asia Pacific, joining existing regions in Beijing, Mumbai, Ningxia, Seoul, Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo, and an upcoming region in Hong Kong SAR.

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.

“The cloud has the power to transform businesses, educational institutions, and entire government agencies across Indonesia, and with another AWS infrastructure region coming to Asia Pacific, we look forward to helping accelerate this transformation,” said Peter DeSantis, Vice President of Global Infrastructure and Customer Support, Amazon Web Services. “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 organizations across all verticals to lower costs, increase agility, and improve flexibility. We’re excited about AWS being a meaningful part of this journey.”

AWS Regions consist of Availability Zones, which are technology infrastructure in separate and distinct geographic locations with 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. Each Availability Zone has independent power, cooling, and physical security and is connected via redundant, ultra-low-latency networks. AWS customers focused on high availability can design their applications to run in multiple Availability Zones to achieve even greater fault-tolerance.

The addition of the AWS Asia Pacific (Jakarta) Region will enable organizations to provide lower latency to end users in Indonesia, and across Asia Pacific. Additionally, Indonesian organizations from startups to enterprises and the public sector will have infrastructure in their country to leverage advanced technologies from the world’s leading cloud with the broadest and deepest suite of cloud services including analytics, artificial Intelligence, database, Internet of Things (IoT), machine learning, mobile services, serverless, and more to drive innovation.

AWS investing in Indonesia

The new AWS Asia Pacific (Jakarta) Region is central to a series of AWS investments in Indonesia. Last year, AWS opened an office in Jakarta, to support its rapidly growing customer base across the country, while also bringing new technical jobs into the country such as technical evangelists and solutions architects.

More than 5,000 Indonesians have already trained on AWS technologies through AWS Educate and AWS Training and Certification programs that have been implemented in the country, and that number is expected to grow significantly with the announcement of the upcoming AWS Region. AWS Training and Certification has launched a free Digital Training Platform that hosts hundreds of self-paced digital training courses for AWS services like analytics, big data, machine learning, and more for people to expand their cloud skills. For Indonesian students, the AWS Educate program provides access to AWS services and content designed to build knowledge and skills in cloud computing. Available in the language, AWS Educate is already being used by dozens of Indonesian universities and business schools. AWS Educate is also supporting the Ministry of Communication and Information.

However, my big question is, what’s the next Amazon Web Service will do in Indonesia ?
