Amazon Web Services (AWS) has pinned Jakarta as its second Southeast Asian cloud region, where the new site is pipped to support Indonesia’s growing startup ecosystem as well as both government and private organisations. The cloud vendor also plans to invest $5 billion over the next 15 years in the country, creating an estimated 24,700 jobs.
The launch of the Jakarta region Tuesday pushes AWS’ Asia-Pacific footprint to 10 and its global regions to 26, encompassing 84 availability zones. Its other regions in Asia-Pacific include Singapore, Beijing, Sydney, and Mumbai.
Another eight global regions, including 24 availability zones, are planned for Australia, New Zealand, India, Canada, Israel, Spain, Switzerland, and the United Arab Emirates.
