Amazon Keyspaces (for Apache Cassandra) now supports adding Regions to existing Keyspaces

[Amazon Keyspaces (for Apache Cassandra)](https://aws.amazon.com/keyspaces/) is a scalable, serverless, highly available, and fully managed Apache Cassandra-compatible database service that offers 99.999% availability. Today, Amazon Keyspaces added the capability to add Regions to existing Keyspaces. With this launch, you can convert an existing single-Region Keyspace to a multi-Region Keyspace or add a new Region to an existing multi-Region Keyspace without recreating the existing Keyspaces. As your application traffic and business needs evolve over time, you can easily add new Regions closest to your application to achieve lower read and write latencies. You can also improve the availability and resiliency of your workloads by adding Regions. Keyspaces fully manages all aspects of creating a new Region and populating it with the latest data from other Regions, enabling you to focus your resources on adding value for your customers rather than managing operational tasks. You can still perform read and write operations on your tables in the existing Region during the addition of a new Region. With this capability, you get the flexibility and ease to manage the regional footprint of your application based on your changing needs. Support for adding Regions to existing Keyspaces is available in all AWS Regions where [Amazon Keyspaces offers multi-Region Replication](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regional-product-services/). For more information on multi-Region Replication, see [documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/keyspaces/latest/devguide/multiRegion-replication.html). If you’re new to Amazon Keyspaces, the [Getting Started guide](https://aws.amazon.com/keyspaces/getting-started/) shows you how to provision a Keyspace and explore the query and scaling capabilities of Amazon Keyspaces.
