Pricing for continuous backups is detailed on the DynamoDB Pricing Pages. Pricing varies by region and is based on the current size of the table and indexes. For example, in US East (N. Virginia) you pay $0.20 per GB based on the size of the data and all local secondary indexes.
有這樣的功能通常是一開始設計時就有考慮 (讓底層的資料結構可以很方便的達成這樣的效果),現在只是把功能實作出來... 像 MySQL 之類的軟體就沒辦法弄成這樣 XDDD
最後有提到支援的地區,是用條列的而不是說所有有 Amazon DynamoDB 的區域都支援:
PITR is available in the US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (N. California), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Canada (Central), EU (Frankfurt), EU (Ireland), EU (London), and South America (Sao Paulo) Regions starting today.
Starting today, Inter-Region Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) Peering is available in AWS EU (London), EU (Ireland), EU (Paris), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Canada (Central) and South America (São Paulo) Regions in addition to AWS US East (Northern Virgina), US East (Ohio), US West (Northern California), US West (Oregon) Regions.
與現在的 region 表格比較,剩下的是 ap-northeast-2 (南韓首爾) 與 eu-central-1 (德國法蘭克福),其他公開使用的區域都在這波的公告全上了。(也就是美國政府專屬區域與中國區不算在內)
AWS Direct Connect also launched its first site in Taiwan at Chief Telecom LY, Taipei. In the Management Console, Taipei is located in the Asia Pacific (Tokyo) Region. With global access enabled for AWS Direct Connect, these sites can reach AWS resources in any global AWS region using global public VIFs and Direct Connect Gateway.
不過當時不確定跨區域時怎麼處理傳輸加密 (或者沒有處理?),這邊 Jeff Barr 補充提到了一些細節:
Data that passes between VPCs in distinct regions flows across the AWS global network in encrypted form. The data is encrypted in AEAD fashion using a modern algorithm and AWS-supplied keys that are managed and rotated automatically. The same key is used to encrypt traffic for all peering connections; this makes all traffic, regardless of customer, look the same. This anonymity provides additional protection in situations where your inter-VPC traffic is intermittent.
Today we are launching our 18th AWS Region, our fourth in Europe. Located in the Paris area, AWS customers can use this Region to better serve customers in and around France.
The AWS China (Ningxia) Region, operated by Ningxia Western Cloud Data Technology Co. Ltd. (NWCD), is generally available now and provides customers another option to run applications and store data on AWS in China.
代碼是 cn-northwest-1 (北京是 cn-north-1),都是使用 amazonaws.com.cn 網域。與北京區一樣都需要另外申請 AWS China 的帳號才能使用:
Customers already using the AWS China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet, can select the AWS China (Ningxia) Region directly from the AWS Management Console, while new customers can request an account at www.amazonaws.cn to begin using both AWS China Regions.
