Amazon Web Services Inc.’s Wavelength edge computing service has been acquired. launched today in South Korea on SK Telecom Co.’s 5G network. Ltd., its first use in Asia.
Wavelength, first released in August, is designed to increase speed for latency-sensitive applications by physically placing them closer to the data they process. The service allows developers to send their applications to AWS Wavelength Zones.
That is the use of infrastructure that secures AWS computing and storage services within the data centers of the telecommunications providers at the edge of the 5G network, so that application traffic only needs to travel from the device to the cell tower to the AWS Wave Zone which runs in a metro collection site.
The service eliminates the latency that comes from accessing the cloud using traditional mobile architects that require multiple hops between regional collection sites and across the Internet and enable for customers to take full advantage of 5G networks. Put simply, by moving the workload closer to the user, accessibility goes up.
Wavelength is also designed to be easy to use. Developers who want to push their application to 5G edge can simply expand their Amazon Virtual Private Cloud to include AWS Wavelength Zones, allowing them to embark on a wide range of AWS services. running
Supported services include Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, Amazon Elastic Block Store, Amazon Elastic Container Service and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service. In addition, developers can also use AWS services to manage, secure and scale their applications such as AWS CloudFormation, AWS Identity and Access Management, and AWS Auto Scaling.
“With AWS Wavelength and SKT, developers can build the ultralow-latency applications needed for usability issues like luxury factories, autonomous vehicles, connected hospitals and enhanced and meaningful experiences with reality,” said Dave Brown, west president of Amazon EC2, in a statement.
In an interview with theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media live streaming studio, on December 3, George Elissaios, general manager and director of product management at AWS, talked about how AWS Wavelength makes immersive live sports experiences possible.
“We strive to enable our customers to reach their end users with low latency and good performance, no matter where these end users are and no matter what network they are using. to connect, whether it’s the 5G mobile network, whether it’s the Internet or the IoT Network, ”said Elissaios.
