At AWS re:Invent 2023, AWS announced the new Amazon S3 Express One Zone storage class. This new service provides incredible performance by collocating your S3 buckets closer to the workloads that use the data. Compared to the S3 Standard storage class, the Express One Zone storage class is up to 10X faster, handles 100,000s of requests per second, offers single-digit millisecond latency, and can reduce request costs by 50%. This can be extremely beneficial for data-intensive workloads such as AI/ML, media, finance, realtime, and high-performance computing scenarios. This blog post shows how to get started with Amazon S3 Express One Zone using Pulumi infrastructure as code.

Cloud providers, such as AWS, do allow you to create policies to ensure that applications are secure, but they are specific to resources that are already deployed. A significant benefit of Policy as Code is the ability to verify and spot problems before deploying your infrastructure.
