Amazon (AMZN) has expanded its global cloud infrastructure footprint with the launch of the AWS Asia Pacific (New Zealand) Region. This strategic move is part of the company's long-term commitment to New Zealand, with an investment of over NZ$7.5 billion to support the construction, connection, operation, and maintenance of data centers in the country [1].The new region, which launches with three Availability Zones, will provide developers, startups, enterprises, and organizations across various sectors—including financial services, retail, education, government, and nonprofits—greater flexibility to run applications and serve end users from data centers within New Zealand. This initiative aligns with Amazon's broader goal of enhancing its cloud capacity and artificial intelligence offerings [2].
In addition to the New Zealand expansion, Amazon has announced plans to add 10 additional Availability Zones and establish three new Regions in Chile, Saudi Arabia, and the European Sovereign Cloud.

The company will also hire and develop local personnel to operate and support the new region, reinforcing its dedication to New Zealand's digital transformation and economic growth.
The AWS Asia Pacific (New Zealand) Region is designed with a sovereign-by-design approach, ensuring secure and compliant cloud infrastructure. Customers will have access to AWS's extensive portfolio of services, including analytics, compute, content delivery, databases, generative AI, machine learning, networking, and storage.
