Inside the AWS lab that makes everything you do online feel effortless
In a nondescript building in Cupertino, California, a team of engineers is quietly designing the networking technology that keeps the modern world connected—one wavelength of light at a time.
An AWS Region is a physical location where AWS clusters data centers .
