This region will provide even lower latency and strong data sovereignty to local users. Leading UK organizations were among the early adopters of the cloud when we first started AWS back in 2006 and we continue to help them drive increased agility, lower IT costs, and easily scale globally.

Based in the Paris area, the region will provide even lower latency and will allow users who want to store their content in datacenters in France to easily do so. French organizations were amongst the first to use AWS when we launched in 2006. Today, I am very excited to announce our plans to open a new AWS Region in France!

But every year when March 14th comes around, it's a good reminder that Amazon S3 originally launched on Pi Day, March 14, 2006. One is that the latency within a zone is incredibly fast. To provide geographic diversity and lower latencies to end users. At AWS, we don't mark many anniversaries.

The epoch of AWS is the launch of Amazon S3 on March 14, 2006, now almost 10 years ago. This lowered latency more than 2x and delivered more than 10x improvement in latency variability on the network. Because network access is a shared resource, customers previously could experience significant jitter on the network at times.

The presentation discusses a family of simple performance models that I developed over the last 20 years — originally in support of processor and system design at SGI (1996-1999), IBM (1999-2005), and AMD (2006-2008), but more recently in support of system procurements at The Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) (2009-present).

In 2006, Denis Defreyne tried to set up a Ruby-based blog platform and ran into performance problems — “Having a VPS with only 96 MB of RAM, any Ruby-based CMS ran extremely slowly.” We can see all the bones of modern Jamstack CMSs here. MovableType really was before its time.
