Record Notes

In May 2025, Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced a $4 billion investment to launch a new infrastructure region in Santiago, Chile. Scheduled to become operational in the second half of 2026, the region will consist of three Availability Zones optimized for generative AI workloads and high-performance computing. The facilities are designed with "waterless" cooling systems to minimize environmental impact amid local drought concerns. This project cements Chile's position as the primary AI infrastructure hub for the Southern Cone, supported by the country's mature renewable energy sector.
