Tanuja Randery, VP and managing director for EMEA at AWS, said the investment will help meet surging demand from customers and partners and play a crucial role in fuelling the "transformation of the UK's digital economy".
"The next few years could be among the most pivotal for the UK's digital and economic future, as organizations of all sizes across the country increasingly embrace technologies like cloud computing and AI to help them accelerate innovation, increase productivity, and compete on the global stage," Randery said.
The investment, which forms part of the company's long-term commitment to the UK, is expected to create more than 14,000 jobs, with the majority supporting AWS' data center supply chain.
AWS has also invested £3 billion to help meet customer demand, and the company says it is estimated to have supported around 6,000 jobs.
