Abstract
Systems and methods are presented for automatically selecting a data center that can communicate with a user computing system over a connection that provides reduced or minimal latency. In some cases, the system can select the data center based on the calculation of one or more latency factors that correlate, at least in part, to the latency of a communication channel between the data center and the user computing system. Further, the selected data center may be identified from a set of data centers that include one or more computing resources the user has identified as desiring to access.
