“I look forward to working with AWS on this project and seeing how it will strengthen Alberta’s information technology and communication sector.”ĪWS Regions are composed of Availability Zones that place infrastructure in separate and distinct geographic locations. This multibillion-dollar data center project in our province underscores the work being done by Invest Alberta to create jobs and diversify the economy,” said Alberta Premier Jason Kenney. “This major investment from AWS again demonstrates that Alberta is establishing itself as a dominant player in digital technology and innovation. “We are excited to build world-class infrastructure to help organizations reinvent how they deliver customer solutions and fuel economic growth.” With another AWS Region in Canada, customers will see even lower latency for emerging solutions like 5G-enabled applications and machine learning at the edge, and it will strengthen their ability to architect their regional infrastructure for even greater fault tolerance, resiliency, and availability,” said Prasad Kalyanaraman, Vice President of Infrastructure Services at AWS. “Our infrastructure in Canada has allowed customers to transform the way businesses, educational institutions, and government agencies serve their stakeholders.
