"This launch marks a significant step as we continue to expand our infrastructure and deliver global innovation in machine learning, AI, and other advanced technologies for our customers," AWS VP of infrastructure services Prasad Kalyanaraman said in a statement. "With access to secure and reliable infrastructure, along with a broad set of AWS technologies, this new AWS Region will help businesses across Mexico sit at the center of AI and machine learning innovation."
The data center market in Mexico is booming. According to one source, tech companies are expected to spend more than $7 billion on data center infrastructure in the next five years, and more than a dozen projects are currently underway.
As many as 73 data centers are expected to be constructed in Mexico over the next five years - a volume that experts say will seriously impact the country's power grid. According to the Mexican Data Center Association (MDCA), an industry group, the new infrastructure could consume as much as 1,492MWh of power by 2029, enough to power around 150,000 homes.
AWS estimates that construction and ongoing operation of AWS Mexico will add roughly $10 billion to Mexico's GDP and support roughly 7,000 full time equivalent jobs.
