Amazon Athena is Accessible in Asia Pacific (Hong Kong) Region

Amazon Athena is a simple interactive query service which examines data straight in Amazon S3 with the help of standard SQL. Athena is integrated with AWS Glue Data Catalog, enabling you to design a unified metadata repository over different services, crawl data sources to locate schemas and occupy your Catalog with latest and altered table and partition definitions, and maintain schema versioning. There is no need to set up or handle any infrastructure as Amazon Athena is serverless. And you only charge for the queries you execute. You get the faster results as Athena scales automatically—running queries in concurrently with big datasets and complex queries. You can point Athena at your data stored in Amazon S3 with few clicks in AWS Management Console, and start using standard SQL to execute ad-hoc queries and get results within seconds. Now Amazon Athena is accessible in Asia Pacific (Hong Kong) AWS Region. With this region availability, Amazon Athena is accessible in US East (Northern Virginia, & Ohio), US West (Oregon), AWS GovCloud, Europe (Ireland, Frankfurt, London, & Stockholm), and Asia Pacific (Singapore, Tokyo, Sydney, Seoul, Mumbai, & Hong Kong) AWS Regions.
