Cloud security at AWS is the highest priority. As an AWS customer, you will benefit from a data center and network architecture built to meet the requirements of the most security-sensitive organizations.
An advantage of the AWS cloud is that it allows customers to scale and innovate, while maintaining a secure environment. Customers pay only for the services they use, meaning that you can have the security you need, but without the upfront expenses, and at a lower cost than in an on-premises environment.

Improving Continuity With Replication Between Regions
Meeting Compliance and Data Residency Requirements
Geographic Expansion
In addition to replicating applications and data across multiple data centers in the same region using Availability Zones, you can also choose to increase redundancy and fault tolerance further by replicating data between geographic regions.
You retain complete control and ownership over the region in which your data is physically located, making it easy to meet regional compliance and data residency requirements.
Throughout the next year, the AWS Global Infrastructure will expand with at least 11 new Availability Zones in new geographic regions: Montreal in Canada, Ningxia in China, Paris in France, and the United Kingdom.
