In the Works – AWS Region in Thailand
With this large information, AWS introduced a 190 billion baht (US 5 billion {dollars}) funding to drive Thailand’s digital future over the following 15 years. It consists of capital expenditures on the development of information facilities, operational bills associated to ongoing utilities and facility prices, and the acquisition of products and providers from Regional companies.
Since we first opened an workplace in Bangkok in 2015, AWS has launched 10 Amazon CloudFront edge places, a extremely safe and programmable content material supply community (CDN) in Bangkok.
