AWS Payment Cryptography now available in South America (São Paulo)

AWS Payment Cryptography has expanded its global presence with availability in South America (São Paulo). This expansion enables customers with latency-sensitive payment applications to build, deploy or migrate into additional AWS Regions without depending on cross-region support.

AWS Payment Cryptography is a fully managed service that simplifies payment-specific cryptographic operations and key management for cloud-hosted payment applications.
