The reporter learned that Amazon cloud technology has entered China since 2013. In September 2016, Amazon Cloud Technology China (Beijing) region operated by Halo New Network was officially commercialized. In December 2017, the Amazon Cloud Technology China (Ningxia) region operated by NWCD was officially launched. In April 2019, Amazon Cloud Technology Asia Pacific (Hong Kong) region was officially launched. Amazon Cloud Technology attaches great importance to its regional business in China, and China is one of the first regions to land in its many services. For example, the China region is one of the first regions to launch a new Amazon EC2 instance based on the self-developed cloud-native processor Amazon Graviton2; Machine learning service Amazon SageMaker’s SageMaker Studio feature was launched in only six regions around the world when it landed, and China accounted for two of them. It is worth mentioning that in the statistics of the use of overseas public cloud IaaS resources by Chinese enterprises going out to sea (counting the amount collected in China), Amazon Cloud technology takes the lead.
