The infrastructure is understood to comprise three data centres in Bahrain.

The data centres will include AWS’ latest ‘availability zones’ or clusters of isolated and independent locations that host customer data and other resources around a specific geographical area.

The company said in 2017 that the new facility would give AWS customers and partners the ability to run their workloads and store their data in the Middle East with lower latency.

AWS opened offices in Bahrain and Dubai the same year.
