A report from Bloomberg News revealed that Amazon's global data center footprint is substantially larger than publicly perceived, encompassing over 900 facilities in more than 50 countries. This network includes not only the well-known massive hubs owned by Amazon but also significant rented space in hundreds of colocation facilities, which provided about a fifth of its computing power as of last year. The disclosure comes as investors closely watch Amazon Web Services' (AWS) capacity to meet the surging computational demands driven by the artificial intelligence boom. The scale of this infrastructure, combining owned and rented facilities, suggests AWS has significant flexibility and capacity to support a global customer base and expand its AI services.
