Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced the immediate availability of the Middle East (Bahrain) Region, which is the first AWS Region in the Middle East and consists of three Availability Zones.
With this launch, AWS now offers 22 Regions and 69 Availability Zones worldwide, serving customers in over 190 countries.
The cloud is a key enabler of opportunity for organizations of all sizes in the Middle East.
Developers, startups, and enterprises, as well as government, education, and non-profit organizations can use AWS services to run applications and leverage advanced technologies such as analytics, database, and serverless to drive innovation across the Middle East.
What is serverless?
Serverless is the native architecture of the cloud that enables you to shift more of your operational responsibilities to AWS, increasing your agility and innovation. Serverless allows you to build and run applications and services without thinking about servers. It eliminates infrastructure management tasks such as server or cluster provisioning, patching, operating system maintenance, and capacity provisioning. You can build them for nearly any type of application or backend service, and everything required to run and scale your application with high availability is handled for you.
Why use serverless?
Serverless enables you to build modern applications with increased agility and lower total cost of ownership. Building serverless applications means that your developers can focus on their core product instead of worrying about managing and operating servers or runtimes, either in the cloud or on-premises. This reduced overhead lets developers reclaim time and energy that can be spent on developing great products which scale and that are reliable.
