AWS Mexico (Central) Region will enable
customers to run workloads and securely store their content in
Mexico while serving end users with even lower latency
New Region reflects AWS’s long-term commitment
to meeting high demand for cloud services in Latin America
AWS plans to invest more than $5 billion
(approx. MXN $85 billion) in Mexico
Amazon Web Services (AWS), an Amazon.com, Inc. company
(NASDAQ:AMZN), today announced plans to launch an AWS
infrastructure Region in Mexico by early 2025. The new AWS Mexico
(Central) Region will give developers, startups, entrepreneurs, and
enterprises, as well as government, education, and nonprofit
organizations, greater choice for running their applications and
serving end users from data centers located in Mexico, ensuring
that customers who want to store their content in Mexico can do so.
As part of its long-term commitment to Latin America, AWS is
planning to invest more than $5 billion (approx. MXN $85 billion)
in Mexico over 15 years. The upcoming AWS Mexico Region is the
latest in AWS’s ongoing investments in Mexico to provide customers
with advanced and secure cloud technologies. For more information

“Cloud services are an essential part of everyday life, helping
us to digitally and economically transform Mexico,” said Raquel
Buenrostro, Mexican secretary of economy. “We welcome AWS’s
investment and expansion in Mexico because it is a sign of trust
and demonstrates conditions are right to support the nearshoring
trend across many sectors of our economy. We also welcome AWS’s
investment in training students, micro, small and medium-sized
companies, and digital entrepreneurs in Mexico at scale.”
“AWS is excited to see thousands of customers in nearly every
industry across Mexico innovate and grow,” said Prasad
Kalyanaraman, vice president of Infrastructure Services at AWS.
“Our investment in Mexico reflects AWS’s long-term commitment to
customers so they can take advantage of advanced technologies like
artificial intelligence and machine learning. We look forward to
helping customers in Mexico meet data residency preferences and
deliver cloud-based applications with low latency, accelerating the
country’s digital transformation, and fueling economic growth.”
The new AWS Region will consist of three Availability Zones at
launch, adding to AWS’s existing 105 Availability Zones across 33
geographic regions globally. With today’s announcement, AWS has
plans to launch 15 more Availability Zones and five more AWS
Regions in Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Thailand, and the AWS
European Sovereign Cloud. 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.
The AWS Mexico (Central) Region will enable customers with data
residency preferences or requirements to store their content
securely in Mexico, enable customers to achieve even lower latency,
and serve demand for cloud services across Latin America. 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. AWS offers the broadest
and deepest portfolio of services, including analytics, artificial
intelligence, compute, database, Internet of Things (IoT), machine
learning, mobile services, storage, and other cloud technologies.
As part of a continued commitment to contribute to the development
of digital skills, AWS will hire and develop additional local
personnel to operate and support the new AWS Region in Mexico.
“Amazon has demonstrated confidence in our country and this
investment is the result of the close collaboration that they have
built with the government of Mexico,” said Emiliano Calderón, head
of national digital strategy for Mexico’s government. “This
administration has promoted an open policy for all technology
companies as a foundational tool for digital and financial
inclusion, with the ultimate objective of bringing technology and
innovation closer to the people. Congratulations to AWS on its
upcoming infrastructure region, which will be a key driver of
Mexico’s digital transformation.”
“AWS’s infrastructure expansion in Queretaro is a testament to
our state’s commitment to advanced technology and innovation, and
to the work we’ve done to create an environment where technology
companies can thrive,” said Mauricio Kuri, governor of the state of
Queretaro. “This investment reinforces our role as a leader in
Mexico’s digital transformation and helps us drive economic growth.
With AWS, we look forward to adding jobs, generating new
businesses, and expanding opportunities for the people of Queretaro
and across the country.”

AWS investment in Mexico
Since 2020, AWS has launched seven Amazon CloudFront edge
locations in Mexico. 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 2020, AWS also launched AWS
Outposts in Mexico. 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. AWS expanded its infrastructure footprint in Mexico
again in 2023 with the launch of AWS Local Zones in Queretaro. AWS
Local Zones are a type of AWS infrastructure deployment that places
compute, storage, database, and other select services closer to
large population, industry, and IT centers, enabling customers to
deliver applications that require single-digit millisecond latency
to end users. In 2023, AWS also established an AWS Direct Connect
location in Queretaro, allowing customers to establish private
connectivity between AWS and their data center, office, or
colocation environment.
To support the growth in cloud adoption across Mexico, AWS
continues to invest in upskilling students, local developers and
technical professionals, nontechnical professionals, and the next
generation of IT leaders in Mexico through offerings like AWS
re/Start, AWS Academy, AWS Educate, and AWS Skill Builder. These
programs and learning centers help learners of all backgrounds and
experiences prepare for careers in the cloud. From college courses
to full-time training programs to interactive, game-based learning
content, AWS Training and Certification provides individuals with
training in the ways they like to learn. As part of the long-term
commitment to Latin America, since 2017 AWS has trained over two
million people across the region on cloud skills, including 400,000
people in Mexico.
Commitment to sustainability
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. As part of its Climate Pledge commitment, Amazon is on a path
to power its operations with 100% renewable energy by 2025, five
years ahead of the original 2030 target. See Amazon's public
methodology for more on its approach. Amazon has been named the
largest corporate purchaser of renewable energy for the last four
years in a row—a position it’s held since 2020, according to
Bloomberg New Energy Finance. Amazon now has more than 500
renewable energy projects in 27 countries. Additionally, AWS is
committed to being water positive by 2030, returning more water to
communities than it uses in its direct operations.
