AWS announced that it had added another availability zone to its EU (London) region. That gives the cloud giant 50 zones in 18 different regions, currently. It has also announced plans to add four more regions with 12 more availability zones.
Google plans to add five new cloud computing regions and build three new undersea cables connecting Chile to the US, the US to Denmark, and Hong Kong to Guam.
