Mangaluru: Drug dealers have been targeting students. Programmes need to be organised to create awareness among students to build an addiction-free society, said Mithun HN, deputy commissioner of police (law and order). He was speaking at an Addiction-Free Day event held on the occasion of the birth anniversary of Mahanta Shivayogi Swamiji at the Roshni Nilaya School of Social Work auditorium on Saturday. The programme was organised jointly by the district administration, Dakshina Kannada zilla panchayat, health and family welfare department, information and public relations department, Karnataka State Temperance Board, and School of Social Work, Roshni Nilaya (Autonomous). The DCP emphasised the need for student cooperation to dismantle drug distribution networks.

The QR codes have been installed in every school and college campus, allowing individuals to scan and provide information to help rescue those involved in addictions from these networks," he said. Joachim Stany Alvares, chairman of the Karnataka Konkani Sahitya Academy, said that in the current era, young people are increasingly drawn to addictions that negatively impact their physical and mental health. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like IBM and AWS: Driving manufacturing excellence with SAP on AWS Cloud - SAP Transformation CIO | AWS Undo In such a scenario, the celebration of Addiction-Free Day is a meaningful event to raise awareness among the youth on the issue, he said.

We are pleased to see AWS deepen its joint efforts with the Taiwan government and the industry to accelerate digital transformation and promote cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and other emerging technologies. We look forward to contributing to fostering a robust digital ecosystem together to advance the technological innovation globally.' The AWS Asia Pacific (Taipei) Region consists of three Availability Zones at launch, giving AWS 117 Availability Zones across 37 AWS Regions globally. With today's announcement, AWS has plans for 13 more Availability Zones and four more AWS Regions in Chile, New Zealand, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the AWS European Sovereign Cloud. The AWS Asia Pacific (Taipei) Region is sovereign-by-design, just as the AWS Cloud has been since day one. AWS offers the broadest and deepest portfolio of services, including analytics, compute, content delivery, database, generative AI, machine learning, networking, storage, and other cloud technologies. To support the growth in cloud adoption across Asia Pacific, Amazon continues to invest in upskilling students, local developers and technical professionals, nontechnical professionals, and the next generation of IT leaders in Taiwan through offerings like AWS Academy, AWS Educate, and AWS Skill Builder. Since 2017, Amazon has trained more than nine million people across Asia Pacific and Japan on cloud skills, including more than 200,000 people in Taiwan.

Amazon investment in Taiwan The AWS Asia Pacific (Taipei) Region is the latest in ongoing investments by Amazon in Taiwan to provide customers with advanced and secure cloud technologies. In 2014, AWS launched an Amazon CloudFront edge location in Taipei, followed by an additional location in 2018. Amazon CloudFront is a highly secure and programmable content delivery network that accelerates the delivery of data, videos, applications, and APIs to users worldwide with low latency and high transfer speeds. In 2018, AWS established two AWS Direct Connect locations in Taipei, allowing customers to establish private connectivity between AWS and their data center, office, or colocation environment.

AWS Outposts is a family of fully managed solutions delivering AWS infrastructure and services to virtually any on-premises or edge location for a truly consistent hybrid experience.

AWS Local Zones are a type of AWS infrastructure deployment that places compute, storage, database, and other select services closer to large populations, industry, and IT centers, enabling customers to deliver applications that require single-digit millisecond latency to end users. Secure, reliable, and energy-efficient cloud infrastructure AWS Regions consist of Availability Zones that place infrastructure in separate and distinct geographic locations. Availability Zones are located far enough from each other to support customers' business continuity, but near enough to provide low latency for high availability applications that use multiple Availability Zones. Each Availability Zone has independent power, cooling, and physical security, and is connected through redundant, ultra-low-latency networks. AWS customers focused on high availability can design their applications to run in multiple Availability Zones to achieve even greater fault tolerance. AWS is constantly working on ways to increase the energy efficiency of its data centers—optimizing data center design, investing in purpose-built chips, and innovating with new cooling technologies. A report by Accenture, commissioned by AWS, estimates AWS's infrastructure is up to 4.1 times more efficient than on-premises, and when workloads are optimized on AWS, the associated carbon footprint can be reduced by up to 99%. For more information about AWS sustainability efforts, visit The AWS Asia Pacific (Taipei) Region will enable customers with data residency preferences or requirements to store their content securely in Taiwan, enable customers to achieve even lower latency, and serve demand for cloud services across Asia Pacific.
