AWS — Peru Cloud Region (Announced)

Amazon Web Services announced a new AWS region in Lima, Peru in 2024, slated for launch in 2025-2026. The Peru region would be AWS’s second in South America after São Paulo and would serve the Andean market of Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, and northern Chile. Peru’s government cloud initiatives, including digital identity and public services modernization, are driving cloud demand. AWS’s planned region investment signals growing interest in underserved South American markets for AI and cloud services. The region is expected to enable Peruvian enterprises and government agencies to comply with data residency requirements while accessing AWS AI services including Bedrock, SageMaker, and Rekognition.
