Amazon Athena Provisioned Capacity now available in South America (São Paulo) and Europe (Spain)

Today, Amazon Athena made Provisioned Capacity available in the South America (São Paulo) and Europe (Spain) regions. Provisioned Capacity is a feature of Athena that allows you to run SQL queries on fully-managed, dedicated serverless resources for a fixed price and no long-term commitments. Using Provisioned Capacity, you can selectively assign processing capacity to queries and control workload performance characteristics such as query concurrency and cost. You can scale capacity at any time, and pay only for the amount of capacity you need and time it is active in your account.

Athena is a serverless, interactive query service that makes it possible to analyze petabyte-scale data with ease and flexibility. Provisioned Capacity provides workload management capabilities that help you prioritize, isolate, and scale your interactive query workloads. For example, use Provisioned Capacity if you want to scale capacity to run many queries at the same time or to isolate important queries from others running in your account. To get started, use the Athena console, AWS SDK, or CLI to request capacity for your account and select the workgroups whose queries you want to use the capacity.

Provisioned Capacity is also available in the following AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Europe (Ireland), Europe (Stockholm).
