Amazon plans to invest more than $5 billion in
Taiwan to support the new Region
Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) today announced the launch of the AWS Asia
Pacific (Taipei) Region. The new AWS Region will give developers,
startups, entrepreneurs, and enterprises, as well as education,
entertainment, financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, and
nonprofit organizations, greater choice for running their
applications and serving end users from AWS data centers located in
Taiwan, ensuring that customers who want to keep their content
onshore can do so. As part of its long-term commitment, Amazon is
planning to invest more than $5 billion to support the
construction, connection, operation, and maintenance of its data
centers in Taiwan. For more information about AWS Global

“The new AWS Asia Pacific (Taipei) Region will enable
organizations of all sizes to build and scale with confidence using
our comprehensive suite of cloud services, ranging from
foundational compute and storage to advanced analytics and
artificial intelligence, all while meeting local data residency
requirements,” said Prasad Kalyanaraman, vice president of
Infrastructure Services at AWS. “Organizations across Taiwan, and
across Asia Pacific, can now leverage the same global
infrastructure that millions of businesses worldwide rely on, while
benefitting from single-digit millisecond latency, to accelerate
innovation, increase operational efficiency, drive business growth,
and deliver better experiences for their end users.”
“We appreciate the launch of the AWS Asia Pacific (Taipei)
Region, which shows Amazon’s strong commitment to Taiwan,” said Mr.
Jung-tai Cho, Premier of Taiwan. “This investment also recognizes
Taiwan as a pivotal partner in the global supply chain, and
demonstrates the solid foundation of the collaboration between AWS
and Taiwan. We are pleased to see AWS deepen its joint efforts with
the Taiwan government and the industry to accelerate digital
transformation and promote cloud computing, artificial
intelligence, and other emerging technologies. We look forward to
contributing to fostering a robust digital ecosystem together to
advance the technological innovation globally.”
- The AWS Asia Pacific (Taipei) Region consists of three
Availability Zones at launch, giving AWS 117 Availability Zones
across 37 AWS Regions globally.
- With today’s announcement, AWS has plans for 13 more
Availability Zones and four more AWS Regions in Chile, New Zealand,
the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the AWS European Sovereign
Cloud.
- The AWS Asia Pacific (Taipei) Region is sovereign-by-design,
just as the AWS Cloud has been since day one.
- AWS offers the broadest and deepest portfolio of services,
including analytics, compute, content delivery, database,
generative AI, machine learning, networking, storage, and other
cloud technologies.
- To support the growth in cloud adoption across Asia Pacific,
Amazon continues to invest in upskilling students, local developers
and technical professionals, nontechnical professionals, and the
next generation of IT leaders in Taiwan through offerings like AWS
Academy, AWS Educate, and AWS Skill Builder. Since 2017, Amazon has
trained more than nine million people across Asia Pacific and Japan
on cloud skills, including more than 200,000 people in Taiwan.
- As part of its commitment to contribute to the development of
digital skills, AWS plans to hire and develop additional local
personnel to operate and support the new AWS Region in Taiwan.
- Organizations in Taiwan that choose AWS to run their workloads
include 104 Corporation, 91APP, Acer, Cathay Financial Holdings,
Chunghwa Telecom, CyberLink, Gamania Group, KKCompany, Modernity
Financial Technologies (MaiCoin), Trend Micro, TSMC, Yahoo! TW
Ecommerce, and more.
- AWS Partners in Taiwan include CKmates, eCloudvalley Digital
Technology Group, Going Cloud, MetaAge Corporation, Netron Ltd.,

- Amazon is committed to becoming a more sustainable business and
reaching net-zero carbon across its operations by 2040, 10 years
ahead of the Paris Agreement, as part of The Climate Pledge. Amazon
co-founded The Climate Pledge and became its first signatory in
2019.
Amazon investment in Taiwan
The AWS Asia Pacific (Taipei) Region is the latest in ongoing
investments by Amazon in Taiwan to provide customers with advanced
and secure cloud technologies.
- In 2014, AWS launched an Amazon CloudFront edge location in
Taipei, followed by an additional location in 2018. Amazon
CloudFront is a highly secure and programmable content delivery
network that accelerates the delivery of data, videos,
applications, and APIs to users worldwide with low latency and high
transfer speeds.
- In 2018, AWS established two AWS Direct Connect locations in
Taipei, allowing customers to establish private connectivity
between AWS and their data center, office, or colocation
environment. With the launch of the Asia Pacific (Taipei) Region,
AWS will establish an additional AWS Direct Connect location in
Taipei.
- In 2020, AWS launched AWS Outposts in Taiwan. AWS Outposts is a
family of fully managed solutions delivering AWS infrastructure and
services to virtually any on-premises or edge location for a truly
consistent hybrid experience.
- In 2022, AWS expanded its infrastructure footprint in Taiwan by
launching AWS Local Zones in Taipei. AWS Local Zones are a type of
AWS infrastructure deployment that places compute, storage,
database, and other select services closer to large populations,
industry, and IT centers, enabling customers to deliver
applications that require single-digit millisecond latency to end
users.
Secure, reliable, and energy-efficient cloud
infrastructure
AWS Regions consist of Availability Zones that place
infrastructure in separate and distinct geographic locations.
Availability Zones are located far enough from each other to
support customers’ business continuity, but near enough to provide
low latency for high availability applications that use multiple
Availability Zones. Each Availability Zone has independent power,
cooling, and physical security, and is connected through redundant,
ultra-low-latency networks. AWS customers focused on high
availability can design their applications to run in multiple
Availability Zones to achieve even greater fault tolerance.
AWS is constantly working on ways to increase the energy
efficiency of its data centers—optimizing data center design,
investing in purpose-built chips, and innovating with new cooling
technologies. A report by Accenture, commissioned by AWS, estimates
AWS’s infrastructure is up to 4.1 times more efficient than
on-premises, and when workloads are optimized on AWS, the
associated carbon footprint can be reduced by up to 99%. For more
information about AWS sustainability efforts, visit
aws.amazon.com/about-aws/sustainability.
The AWS Asia Pacific (Taipei) Region will enable customers with
data residency preferences or requirements to store their content
securely in Taiwan, enable customers to achieve even lower latency,
and serve demand for cloud services across Asia Pacific. Customers
from startups to enterprises to government organizations and
nonprofits will be able to use advanced technologies from the
world’s leading cloud to drive innovation.
