Prime Highlights
- Amazon and Google have introduced a multicloud networking service to enable businesses to establish private, high-speed links between cloud platforms in minutes.
- The collaboration aims to simplify data movement and application management across AWS and Google Cloud, marking a shift in multicloud connectivity.
Key Facts
- The service combines AWS Interconnect–multicloud and Google Cloud’s Cross-Cloud Interconnect to improve network interoperability.
- Early adopters include Salesforce, while AWS generated $33 billion in Q3 2025 revenue, more than double Google Cloud’s $15.16 billion.
Background
Amazon and Google have jointly developed a multicloud networking service to help businesses secure faster and more reliable connections between their cloud platforms. Both companies said the initiative will allow customers to set up private, high-speed links in minutes, instead of waiting weeks as they do today.
The launch comes at a time when even a brief internet disruption can affect millions of users. On October 20, an Amazon Web Services (AWS) outage disrupted thousands of websites globally, including major apps such as Snapchat and Reddit. According to analytics firm Parametrix, that single outage is expected to cost U.S. companies between $500 million and $650 million.
The new service brings together AWS’s Interconnect–multicloud and Google Cloud’s Cross-Cloud Interconnect. The combined approach aims to improve network interoperability and make data movement between clouds easier for enterprise users.
AWS and Google Cloud working together marks a significant change in how multicloud networks connect,” said Robert Kennedy, AWS vice president of network services. Vice President and General Manager of Cloud Networking at Google Cloud said the joint network will simplify how customers move applications and workloads across platforms.
Google Cloud confirmed that Salesforce is among the early adopters of this setup.
AWS remains the world’s largest cloud provider, ahead of Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud. The company’s cloud division grew strongly in the third quarter, earning $33 billion in revenue, more than double Google Cloud’s $15.16 billion.
Tech giants like Amazon, Microsoft, and Alphabet keep investing heavily in cloud infrastructure to meet the growing demand for artificial intelligence. As AI-driven applications expand, companies require stronger, faster, and more stable cloud networks, making multicloud solutions more important than ever.
