Today, AWS announces the general availability of a new AWS Local Zone in Istanbul, Türkiye, bringing AWS infrastructure closer to end users, while enabling organizations to meet data residency requirements by storing and backing up data locally.

AWS Local Zones are AWS infrastructure deployments that extend core services, such as compute, storage, networking, and other select services, closer to metropolitan areas worldwide. AWS Local Zones help you achieve single-digit millisecond latency for end-user workloads, meet data residency requirements, support AI/ML inference workloads, and accelerate migration and modernization of legacy applications to the cloud, all while maintaining consistent AWS APIs, tools, and services as AWS Regions. AWS Local Zones are available in more than 30 metropolitan areas worldwide.

The AWS Local Zone in Istanbul supports Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) with C7i, M7i, and R7i instances, Amazon S3 with the One Zone-Infrequent Access storage class, Amazon EBS with Local Snapshots and volume types gp3, gp2, io1, sc1, and st1, Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS), Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS), Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC), AWS Direct Connect, and Application Load Balancer.  

To get started, enable the AWS Local Zone in Istanbul (eu-central-1-ist-1a) from the Zones tab in the Amazon EC2 console settings or by using the ModifyAvailabilityZoneGroup API. For pricing information, visit the AWS Local Zones pricing page . To learn more, visit the AWS Local Zones overview page . 

AWS Transfer Family web apps now support federated permissions with AWS IAM Identity Center across multiple AWS Regions. Previously, you could only create Transfer Family web apps in the Region where your IAM Identity Center instance was enabled. With IAM Identity Center’s support for multi-Region replication, you can now replicate your identity configurations to another Region and create Transfer Family web apps there, reducing latency and improving reliability for your users.

After you enable a new Region in IAM Identity Center, you can create a Transfer Family web app in that Region. IAM Identity Center automatically replicates your workforce identities to the new Region, eliminating the need to reconfigure user credentials. Administrators can manage fine-grained permissions using the same workforce identities already configured in IAM Identity Center, and your Transfer Family web app users can sign in immediately using their existing credentials.

To get started, visit the Transfer Family User Guide . To enable IAM Identity Center across multiple Regions, refer to the IAM Identity Center User Guide . For regional availability, visit AWS Capabilities .

Today, Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced version 0.1 of ExtendDB, an open source project that implements the Amazon DynamoDB API with pluggable storage backends. Amazon DynamoDB is a serverless, fully managed NoSQL database with single-digit millisecond performance at any scale. ExtendDB enables application developers, platform teams, and enterprise architects to use the DynamoDB programming model in environments where the DynamoDB managed service is not available, including developer laptops, on-premises data centers, and disconnected edge sites, without rewriting application code.

ExtendDB implements the DynamoDB control plane and data plane APIs, including operations on tables, items, and streams. The reference storage backend at launch is PostgreSQL, and the pluggable architecture allows the community to add new storage backends without modifying the core adapter. Developers can use ExtendDB for high-fidelity local development and continuous integration testing, and operate DynamoDB-shaped workloads in on-premises data centers backed by a supported database.

ExtendDB is maintained by AWS, released under the Apache 2.0 license, and developed in the open on GitHub. We invite the community to contribute backend implementations, submit feedback, and participate in the project’s evolution. To learn more, see the ExtendDB project page and the AWS database blog post . To get started or contribute, visit the GitHub repository .
