AWS Opens Chile Cloud Region to Select Customers

Nov 11, 2026
AWS has opened its first cloud region in Chile to select customers and plans general availability by the end of 2026. Amazon will invest more than $4 billion in the region.

Amazon Web Services opened its first cloud region in Chile to select customers, with general availability due by the end of 2026, the company said on its website. The South America (Chile) Region is its third in Latin America, following regions in São Paulo and central Mexico.

Amazon plans to invest more than $4 billion in Chile to support the region. AWS estimates the investment will contribute more than $7.5 billion to Chile's gross domestic product and support an average of 4,100 full time equivalent jobs each year.

The region will initially provide core computing, storage, networking, and database services. Amazon Bedrock and SageMaker AI will become available within its first year. Customers will be able to store data and run workloads in Chile, reducing latency and helping regulated organizations meet local data residency requirements.

Early customers include BancoEstado de Chile, BTG, Cencosud, Consorcio, Itaú, and Ripley. The region will contain at least three physically separate availability zones with independent power, cooling, and security.
