AWS Weekly Roundup: South America expansion, Q Developer in OpenSearch, and more (May 12, 2025)

I’ve always been fascinated by how quickly we’re able to stand up new Regions and Availability Zones at AWS. Today there are 36 launched Regions and 114 launched Availability Zones. That’s amazing!

This past week at AWS was marked by significant expansion to our global infrastructure. The announcement of a new Region in the works for South America means customers will have more options for meeting their low latency and data residency requirements. Alongside the expansion, AWS announced the availability of numerous instance types in additional Regions.

In addition to the infrastructure expansion, AWS is also expanding the reach of Amazon Q Developer into Amazon OpenSearch Service.
