AWS announces major investment plan for Brazil
The new AWS investment will focus on building and maintaining data centres across Brazil, following a $3.8 billion plan from 2011 to 2023.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) has announced plans to invest 10.1 billion reais ($1.8 billion) in Brazil by 2034 to expand its data centre operations. The investment will focus on building, connecting, operating, and maintaining data centres across the country.
AWS’s new investment comes after a previous plan, which saw the company invest 19.2 billion reais between 2011 and 2023. The company aims to bolster its cloud infrastructure in Latin America’s largest economy, supporting local businesses and institutions.
The expansion is expected to improve AWS’s cloud services across Brazil, making it easier for companies to scale their operations with improved data storage, connectivity, and digital solutions. It reflects AWS’s long-term commitment to Brazil and the growing demand for cloud services in the region.
Brazil has become an increasingly important market for cloud services, and AWS’s continued investment highlights the growing significance of digital infrastructure in Latin America.
