Can you visit an AWS data center?
Does AWS allow physical data center tours by the customer? No. Due to the fact that our data centers host multiple customers, AWS does not allow data center tours by customers, as this exposes a wide range of customers to physical access of a third party.
Does AWS have its own data center?
In the US, the company operates in some 38 facilities in Northern Virginia, eight in San Francisco, another eight in its hometown of Seattle and seven in northeastern Oregon. In Europe, it has seven data center buildings in Dublin, Ireland, four in Germany, and three in Luxembourg.
How many data Centres does AWS have?

Are AWS data centers staffed 24 7?
AWS Security Operations Centers are located around the world and are responsible for monitoring, triaging, and executing security programs for our data centers. They oversee physical access management and intrusion detection response while also providing global, 24/7 support to the on-site data center security teams.
How secure are AWS servers?
AWS security is not fail-safe and operates on a Shared Security Responsibility model. This means that Amazon secures its infrastructure while you have your own security controls in place for the data and applications you deploy and store in the cloud.
Are AWS data centers certified?

Are AWS Availability Zones in different locations?
AWS Cloud computing resources are housed in highly available data center facilities. AWS Regions are large and widely dispersed into separate geographic locations. Availability Zones are distinct locations within an AWS Region that are engineered to be isolated from failures in other Availability Zones.
How does AWS ensure data security?
