Amazon Web Services (AWS), a subsidiary of Amazon.com, has officially launched the AWS Mexico (Central) Region.
With the launch of the AWS Mexico (Central) Region, AWS’s global infrastructure now includes 114 Availability Zones across 36 geographic regions, with plans to introduce an additional 12 Availability Zones and four new AWS Regions in New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, and within the AWS European Sovereign Cloud framework.
AWS has committed to invest over $5 billion in Mexico over the next 15 years as a part of this engagement. To support local initiatives, AWS has established the $300,000 AWS InCommunities Fund in Queretaro to foster community development through local projects.
The AWS Mexico (Central) Region will allow customers with specific data residency needs to securely store data locally while benefiting from reduced latency. It also addresses the growing demand for cloud services throughout Latin America.
“This launch marks a significant step as we continue to expand our infrastructure and deliver global innovation in machine learning (ML), artificial intelligence (AI), and other advanced technologies for our customers,” said Prasad Kalyanaraman, vice president of Infrastructure Services at AWS. “With access to secure and reliable infrastructure, along with a broad set of AWS technologies, this new AWS Region will help businesses across Mexico sit at the center of AI and ML innovation. We’re proud to deepen our investment in Mexico to help support business transformation, foster technology talent, build cloud skills, and create opportunities for economic growth.”
