Amazon ElastiCache Now in Two Additional Regions
We are excited to announce that Amazon ElastiCache is now available in two additional Regions: US West (Oregon) and South America (Sao Paulo). Starting today, you can use Amazon ElastiCache in these Regions to add an in-memory cache to your application architecture in a matter of minutes.
Amazon ElastiCache improves the performance of web applications by retrieving data from a fast, managed, Memcached-compatible, in-memory caching system, instead of relying entirely on disk-based databases. It can significantly improve throughput for read-heavy or compute intensive workloads including:
- Social Networking
- Mobile and Social Gaming
- E-Commerce Sites
- Media Sites
- Recommendation Engines
To learn more about the service, please view our recorded webinar: “Turbo-charge Your Web Apps Using Amazon ElastiCache” and review our Getting Started Guide. You can launch a multi-node Memcached-compatible cluster with a few clicks using the AWS Management Console or a few simple API calls.
