When uploading a file, the file will need to travel from Australia all the way to Virginia. Imagine we have an S3 bucket located in Virginia, but our customers are on the other side of the world in Australia. Here are some high-level statistics from AWS:īelow is a map of the AWS edge locations versus regions: AWS has only 24 regions but has 216 edge locations The user performing the upload will be uploading to his nearest edge location instead of directly to the S3 bucket. An edge location is a data center located close to your customers, which provides low latency access to cached content. It works by utilizing Amazon’s global network of edge locations, the same infrastructure used by other AWS services such as Cloudfront and Route53. Transfer acceleration is a way to speed up both uploads and downloads with your S3 bucket.
