Peru will become a digital development hub for the region. This came after the announcement by the technological transnational brand Amazon Web Services (AWS) choosing our country as a new local zone for its public cloud infrastructure —as part of its expansion strategy in Latin America.
As a local zone (AWS Local Zones), the company will place computing, storage, database, and other cloud services near large centers of population, industry, and information technology.
This contributes to implementing apps such as real-time remote gaming; entertainment and media creation; live video streaming; engineering simulations; virtual and augmented reality; machine learning inference at the edge; and more.
This level of investment in infrastructure and digital platforms —to be located in the city of Lima— will open up great opportunities for the country's digital ecosystem, as well as for economic reactivation, employability, digital entrepreneurship, and the national digital transformation process.
"Thus, Amazon joins another global transnational (corporation) that has also opted to invest in local cloud infrastructure in Peru, such as Huawei," Chocobar expressed.
"That will speed up the closing of digital gaps and the use of industry 4.0 technologies at the national level, in line with the 8th Axis of the Government's General Policy. This, in turn, will generate the challenge of strengthening digital talent in every region of the country," she added.
