Overall, customer demand is lower in the United States than expected which does not justify further expansion.
Learn moreObject Storage Service (OBS) supports cross-region replication
January, 2022
Cross-region replication provides a solution for disaster recovery across regions, allowing users to set up a remote backup solution.
Cross-region replication refers to the process of automatically and asynchronously replicating data from a bucket (source bucket) to another bucket (destination bucket) across regions by creating a cross-region replication rule. The source bucket and destination bucket must belong to the same account. Replication across accounts is not supported.
For a cross-region replication rule, users can configure it to match a pre-defined object prefix so that all objects with this prefix will be replicated. Alternatively, they can configure the rule to apply to the whole bucket so that all objects in the bucket will be replicated. Objects replicated to the destination bucket are precise copies of objects in the source bucket. They have the same object names, metadata, content, size, last modification time, creator, version ID, user-defined metadata, and ACLs. By default, the storage class of an object copy is the same as that of the source object. Users can also specify a different storage class for an object copy.
Learn moreObject Storage Resiliency over 3 AZ is now available in Amsterdam region.
