  • multiple smaller local zone spreading in the city with their own infrastructure (no built in resilience)
  • the subnet can be extended to these local zone and use the resources as usually as in parent region, but with much lower latency
  • support DX connect to a local zone
  • local zone has the private connectivity with the parent region
  • the resources like S3/ EBS snapshots will be taken to parent region, which still benefited from the HA provided
  • However, not all products support local zones
