Amazon Web Services Inc (AWS) recently launched the AWS Asia Pacific (Thailand) Region, providing developers, enterprises and organisations with enhanced options for running their applications from data centres within Thailand.
This expansion is part of AWS’s commitment to invest over US$5 billion in the country, contributing approximately US$10 billion to Thailand’s gross domestic product (GDP) and supporting more than 11,000 jobs annually across various sectors, including construction and telecommunications.
AWS vice president of infrastructure services Prasad Kalyanaraman said the launch of the new AWS Region in Thailand will empower businesses in all sectors to implement advanced applications using a wide range of AWS technologies.
“With today’s launch, AWS is proud to support Thailand’s digital transformation and help accelerate its role as a regional hub for artificial intelligence (AI),” he said.
The new AWS Region consists of three Availability Zones and is designed to offer high availability applications with low-latency services, supporting advanced technologies such as AI, machine learning and data analytics.
The company’s continued investment in Thailand includes previous initiatives such as launching Amazon CloudFront edge locations and AWS Local Zones. AWS will also be focusing on sustainability goals that aligns with its net-zero carbon target and efforts to optimise energy efficiency in its data centres.
Ultimately, this launch underscores AWS’s ongoing commitment to supporting Thailand’s growth, innovation and digital transformation while fostering a thriving cloud ecosystem in the region.
