Information provided by analysts at Wells Fargo Bank cites sources indicating that Amazon has notified the suspension of a new AWS data center project that was previously in temporary planning. This involves notifying a change in lease agreement terms for space, both in the United States and internationally.
Previously, there were reports of Microsoft delaying or canceling Azure data center projects at multiple locations. However, Microsoft has not officially announced any of these actions.
Kevin Miller, Vice President of AWS Global Data Centers, posted on LinkedIn regarding this report, stating that it is a routine resource management decision. There may be changes in the location of data centers if evaluation deems the costs to be excessive. Nevertheless, the overall expansion of data centers continues to grow to accommodate demands for both Generative AI and workload on AWS.
