Why Ireland and not the UK? I can imagine a lot of startups/banks in London could use this... Brexit fears?

- maffydub 9y agoI wouldn't read too much into this - Amazon's Ireland region was deployed earlier (2008?) than London (2016?) and seems to receive updates earlier too.
- remus 9y agoLondon only came online relatively recently, maybe there's some operational stuff getting in the way of deploying? Or perhaps London has relatively few users at the moment, so the number of clients who will be able to take advantage of more specialised instances is also relatively low?
- moonbug22 9y agoLondon region is tiny and not the region to go to unless you have specific geolocation requirements.
- tt293 9y agoBecause Ireland is so close to the UK that the latency will not matter?
- maxehmookau 9y agoThe London Region is really new. Amazon are using it as a way in to UK-only projects (specifically healthcare due to NHS regulations). I suspect their datacentres are considerably smaller than that of Ireland along with their client-base for the moment. I wouldn't read too much in to it, brexit-wise.
- puzzle 9y agoThe Dublin data center is probably much larger than the one in London, for starters.
- rsynnott 9y agoIreland is one of the older and larger regions, and generally gets new stuff at the same time as Virginia or very shortly afterwards. London and Frankfurt tend to be delayed a bit.
