AWS — Asia Pacific (New Zealand) Region

The AWS Asia Pacific (New Zealand) Region, officially launched in late 2025 and fully operational in 2026, represents a NZ$7.5 billion investment in local digital infrastructure. The region consists of three Availability Zones in the Auckland area, providing low-latency access to AWS services for New Zealand government and enterprise customers. The infrastructure is optimized for AI workloads, including support for AWS’s Trainium and Inferentia chips. This region ensures that sensitive national data remains onshore, complying with local data residency and sovereignty requirements.
