Amazon to Invest $4.4 Billion in New Zealand Data Centers

Amazon has formally launched cloud services in New Zealand and dusted off a plan first announced in 2021 to invest more than NZ$7.5 billion ($4.4 billion) in data centers in the South Pacific nation.

Amazon Web Services will establish the AWS Asia Pacific (New Zealand) Region to “help serve the growing demand for cloud services across the country and empower organizations of all sizes to accelerate their digital transformation,” Amazon said in a statement Tuesday in Wellington.
