AWS is very upfront about AWS China. See https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regional-product-services/ https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regio... and click AWS China Regions on the left side.
I would be asking AWS about the future of AWS Hong Kong which has historically has had special freedoms from China. See current events for more on that.
Typical issue is the ICP License ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICP_license https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICP_license ), which is why Western companies set up shop in Hong Kong.
- sterlind 7y agoFor now, like you say. If China decides to make one country one system, it's curtains for all the Western infrastructure and instances located there. Depending on how it goes down, it could be a big security/confidentiality issue for the data located or flowing through there. I'm hopeful China would have a lot to lose by pulling the plug, since Hong Kong is a valuable interface to the West, but it might happen sooner or later with how unstable geopolitics is becoming.
