• The Hyderabad region of AWS in Asia Pacific has three availability zones.
• According to estimates, this investment will sustain 48,000 full-time jobs annually.
• In June 2016, Amazon launched the AWS Asia Pacific (Mumbai) region.

Tuesday saw the announcement by Amazon Web Service (AWS) that it would invest $4.4 billion (about Rs 36,300 crore) in Hyderabad to construct its second data centre cluster in India by 2030. Developers, startups, and businesses, among others, will be able to 'execute workloads with improved resilience and availability, securely store data in India, and serve end users with lower latency' thanks to the AWS Asia Pacific (Hyderabad) region offered by amazon.com.  

In Mumbai, AWS already has a comparable facility that debuted in 2016. It operates these facilities across 30 different countries. With the increase in data consumption and the use of the cloud, the demand for data centres in India has increased tremendously. According to rating agency Crisil, data centre capacity will quadruple by 2025, from its current capacity of 870MW to 1,700-1,800MW. 

Conglomerates like the Adani Group have announced significant investments in the construction of data centres across several sites as a result of this. While Microsoft and Reliance have partnered to offer cloud services to small and medium-sized businesses in the nation, Oracle announced Gen 2 cloud regions in Mumbai and Hyderabad in 2019. 

Yotta Infrastructure was established by Hiranandani Group to construct data centres in Mumbai and Chennai.
The AWS Asia Pacific (Hyderabad) region, the company's second infrastructure area in India, was officially launched, according to a statement from AWS.

 According to Prasad Kalyanaraman, vice president of Infrastructure Services at Amazon Data Services, the opening of the AWS Asia Pacific (Hyderabad) region supports India's digital transformation and is a component of AWS' long-term investment in the nation since the opening of its first office in 2011. 

The 'India cloud' is slated for significant expansion and innovation as part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's $1 trillion (approximately Rs. 82 lakh crore) digital economy ambition. The essential component of the digital ecosystem are data centres. The expansion of AWS's data centres in India is a good development that will undoubtedly spark the country's digital economy. 

According to him, India's capacity will be significantly increased from its existing 565MW to over 2,565MW in the near future under the government's impending National Cloud and Data Center Policy.

The existing AWS Asia Pacific (Mumbai) region was launched in June 2016, and the AWS Asia Pacific (Hyderabad) region, which has three Availability zones, joins it. 

While being close enough to offer low latency for high-availability applications that use multiple Availability zones, availability zones are spaced apart enough to support customers' business continuity. The redundant, ultra-low latency networks that connect each availability zone provide independent power, cooling, and physical security.
