IT is no secret that Malaysia has high potential to be the region's next tech hub, with large tech companies investing billions in the country. Amazon Web Services (AWS), the cloud computing unit of tech giant Amazon, launched the AWS Asia Pacific (Malaysia) Region in August 2024, with plans to invest more than US$6.2 billion (RM29.2bil) in Malaysia through 2038.
In line with Malaysia’s digital transformation agenda, AWS Global Data Centers vice president Kevin Miller said that AWS is dedicated to building reliable and highly available infrastructure in Malaysia, enabling local innovation and the development of applications with global potential.
