(Yicai Global) April 25 -- Amazon Web Services, the cloud computing arm of Amazon, has launched AWS Asia Pacific Hong Kong Region today, marking its eighth region in Asia Pacific.

The service offers three Availability Zones, which are technology infrastructure in separate and distinct geographic locations. This can provide lower latency to end users in Hong Kong and across Asia Pacific.

With the launch, AWS has 64 availability zones within 21 geographic regions worldwide, and plans to start 12 more in four extra regions.
