Amazon and Google Launch Joint Multicloud Network for Faster Cross-Cloud Links

The collaboration targets cross‑cloud resilience following October's AWS outage.

Overview

  • Customers can establish private, high‑speed connections between AWS and Google Cloud within minutes instead of weeks.
  • The service combines AWS Interconnect–multicloud with Google Cloud Cross‑Cloud Interconnect to improve interoperability.
  • Google Cloud named Salesforce as an early user of the new multicloud connectivity approach.
  • Google Cloud’s Rob Enns said the joint network is designed to ease the movement of data and applications across providers.
  • The rollout follows the October 20 AWS disruption that hit thousands of sites, with analyst estimates of $500 million to $650 million in U.S. business losses, as major cloud firms invest heavily to support AI‑driven traffic.
