Amazon Web Services (AWS) officially launched its Asia Pacific (Taipei) Region in early June 2025, accompanied by a US$5 billion capital commitment to data center development and operations.
The new region includes three Availability Zones, giving businesses across Taiwan access to a broader range of AWS services while meeting local data residency requirements. The investment also supports job creation and encourages innovation in cloud-native services and AI-enabled infrastructure.
AWS’s long-term commitment to the region is part of a broader trend of hyperscale providers deepening their presence in Asia to meet the compute and compliance demands of the AI era. The Taipei region adds capacity at a time when demand for cloud infrastructure and AI services continues to accelerate.
The development aligns with AWS’s regional strategy to ensure redundancy, resilience, and low-latency AI deployment options across the Asia-Pacific market.
