Amazon.com Inc.’s cloud service will power Nasdaq’s first U.S. options market starting next year.

The exchange will use Amazon’s technology for private corporate clouds, called Outposts, to set up a cloud system at its data center in Carteret, New Jersey. Nasdaq Inc. Chief Executive Officer Adena Friedman announced the deal Tuesday at Amazon’s annual cloud conference in Las Vegas.
