AWS announces a new Availability Zone in the Europe (London) Region

AWS has added a fourth Availability Zone to the Europe (London) Region (eu-west-2), expanding infrastructure capacity to meet growing demand for cloud compute in the Region. The new Availability Zone delivers next-generation AI and ML capacity, including Amazon EC2, Trn3, and P6 accelerated instances, alongside general-purpose compute. The new Availability Zone gives AWS customers in eu-west-2 greater capacity for AI and ML workloads and additional fault isolation for building highly available, resilient architectures.

With this new Availability Zone (eu-west-2d), customers can distribute applications across four Availability Zones in eu-west-2, improving fault tolerance and supporting high availability architectures. AI and ML teams can now run model training and inference workloads on the latest accelerated instance types entirely within the London Region. The new Availability Zone is accessible through the AWS Management Console, APIs, and existing workflows with no changes to tooling. Standard Europe (London) Region pricing applies.
