Having AWS Local Zones close to large population centres in metro areas enables customers to achieve the low latency required for use cases like online gaming, live streaming, and augmented and virtual reality. Amazon Web Services (AWS) has announced the launch of a new AWS Local Zones location in Muscat, Oman, which gives customers the ability to easily deploy applications located close to end users in the metro area.
