US EditionAmazon Earmarks $4.4 Billion For New Zealand Data Center Push
- On Tuesday, Amazon officially introduced a new AWS Region in New Zealand, announcing an investment of NZ$7.5 billion to grow its cloud infrastructure in the country.
- This investment, publicly introduced almost four years prior, is designed to establish New Zealand as a key regional center in response to the increasing demand across the Asia-Pacific region.

- AWS executives said the new region will enable flexible and secure Gen AI applications while tackling power constraints and component shortages limiting current growth.
