There are 33 AWS Regions as of January 2024, and they are continuing to be created. However, as time passes, infrastructures become obsolete and space limitations continue to arise. Therefore, when you expanding your service overseas for global, choosing a relatively recently created region on the continent is more likely to provide up-to-date infrastructure and stable services. Below is a summary of the timeline for regional launches by continent.
