Building multi-region applications allows you to improve latency for end users, achieve higher availability and resiliency in case of unexpected disasters, and adhere to business requirements related to data durability and data residency. Today, thanks to multi-region data replication functions such as Amazon DynamoDB global tables, Amazon Aurora global database, Amazon ElastiCache global datastore, and Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) cross-region replication, you can build multi-region applications across 25 AWS Regions worldwide.

S3 Multi-Region Access Points in Action To get started, you create an S3 Multi-Region Access Point in the S3 console, via API, or with AWS CloudFormation.

You can also use IAM Access Analyzer to verify public and cross-account access for buckets that use S3 Multi-Region Access Points and preview access to your buckets before deploying permissions changes.

Cost considerations When you use an S3 Multi-Region Access Point to route requests within the AWS global network, you pay a data routing cost of $0.0033 per GB processed, in addition to the standard charges for S3 requests, storage, data transfer, and replication.
