DigitalOcean opens data center in Singapore

A well-known hosting provider DigitalOcean today has delighted everyone with the news about the launch of a new data center in Singapore. The data center was launched in collaboration with Equinix . This is a long-awaited and excellent news story for those who want a presence in the Asia-Pacific region.

This region became the sixth in addition to the already existing ones, in which the creation of droplets is possible. Thus, at the moment the following regions are available for selection:

1. New york 1
2. Amsterdam 1
3. San francisco 1
4. New york 2
5. Amsterdam 2
6. Singapore 1

I tried to create a droplet in the new SGP1 region to look at the delay. For my case, the average delay is 317 ms. These values ​​are much higher than those for New York and Amsterdam.

SGP1 - Singapore

  --- 128.199.253.115 ping statistics ---
 571 packets transmitted, 556 received, 2% packet loss, time 571291ms
 rtt min / avg / max / mdev = 284.834 / 317.866 / 387.451 / 18.845 ms 

NYC2 - New York

  --- 107.170.33. *** ping statistics ---
 272 packets transmitted, 272 received, 0% packet loss, time 272032ms
 rtt min / avg / max / mdev = 110.696 / 113.499 / 132.585 / 4.729 ms 

AMS1 - Amsterdam

  --- 146.185.173. *** ping statistics ---
 100 packets transmitted, 100 received, 0% packet loss, time 99458ms
 rtt min / avg / max / mdev = 38.865 / 39.422 / 45.910 / 0.954 m 

In general, for whom this region is of interest - go for it. On the other hand, I would like to look at the values ​​of the delay from other habrazhiteli, and especially interesting values ​​from China. If anyone has any, please share. For the purity of the experiment, the Singapore droplet will be left alive for another week.
