Amazon Web Services (AWS) on Friday said it is committing about $15.24 billion to expand its cloud infrastructure in Japan by 2027 in order to meet growing customer demand for its cloud services, including generative AI.
The company made its generative AI service, Amazon Bedrock, available in Japan’s Tokyo region last year while also investing $100 million to start a new global program, dubbed the Generative AI Innovation Center, to help enterprises accelerate the development of generative AI-based applications.
The investment in Japan will be used to expand the cloud service provider’s infrastructure in the country, especially the facilities in Osaka and Tokyo, the company said in a statement.
