Amazon Web Services, Amazon’s cloud computing division, said it plans to invest $5 billion in Mexico over the next 15 years as a part of a “long-term commitment” in the region. A portion of that investment is a new server region launching today, AWS Mexico (Central) Region, that will allow AWS customers to run applications and serve end users from AWS data centers located in Mexico.
AWS estimates that construction and ongoing operation of AWS Mexico will add approximately $10 billion to Mexico’s GDP and support roughly 7,000 “full time equivalent jobs.” (TechCrunch)
