The cloud giants say they've built a tool "to transform how cloud service providers connect with one another." It links Google's Cross-Cloud Interconnect with AWS Interconnect, allowing customers to set up a private high-speed link between resources running on their respective clouds. The two companies claim they've produced a new open specification for network interoperability, with the API available for other providers to adopt.

AWS and Google Cloud announce a joint network solution that enables organizations to connect the two cloud platforms more quickly and easily. The introduction follows a period in which more and more companies are adopting multicloud strategies but are encountering complex, time-consuming network configurations. AWS makes it clear that this is a preview of the new service, with Google Cloud being the first partner with which the link has been made operational.

As the future success of datacentres becomes increasingly dependent on the performance of networking components that can process massive amounts of data with minimal latency and power consumption, Amazon Web Services (AWS) has introduced a new version of its dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) transponder system, claiming to be the first cloud provider to successfully develop and deploy in-house such technology for both metro and long-haul applications at scale. AWS network infrastructure operates on two scales.
