Amazon Web Services has launched an infrastructure cloud region in Mexico and plans to invest $5 billion in the country over the next 15 years.
The cloud business of Amazon.com, better known as AWS, said Tuesday that the new infrastructure region will allow customers to run workloads and securely store data via AWS data centers located in Mexico.
AWS said last February that it was establishing data centers in Mexico to serve demand for cloud services across Latin America.
The company now estimates that construction and continuing operation of the new region will add about $10 billion to Mexico's gross domestic product and support about 7,000 full-time equivalent jobs.
