What Are Local Zones?

AWS Local Zones are a type of infrastructure setup that brings AWS compute, storage, database, and other services closer to large population centers, industries, and IT hubs. They extend AWS Regions by placing services closer to end users to reduce latency and meet local compliance requirements.
