Their Storage and CDN pricing is extremely impressive. 8 cents a GB entry for US-based datacentre for transfer. 6 cents for China-based. 5 cents a GB for storage, almost flat.
If nothing else, I think global startups would at least find the CDN handly, starting today.
Also Beijing and HK nodes would be closest nodes to India. Although AWS has a node in India but I think it is Cloudfront only.

- _jgdh 11y agoAgree with your other points, but the routing of undersea cables means that data centers in Singapore have lower latency to users in the Indian subcontinent. Also, Amazon recently announced that they plan to invest in data centers within India, so that's further incentive to stay with Amazon. Having said that, its great to see more competition in this space and I hope Alibaba expands to more regions.
