I guess optimized WAN network routing between S3 regions and their edge locations usually beats regular internet routing.

- toomuchtodo 11y agoI didn't mention that because it wasn't in the official blog post, but you're correct. My assumption is that AWS has their own dedicated fiber/private connectivity between edges and regions.
