Amazon Web Services(AWS) freshly announced it has opened an office in the heart of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur. 

The office is now open and operational and is supporting businesses of all sizes, from startups and small-and-medium sized businesses to large enterprises and public sector customers, as they make the transition to the AWS Cloud.

AWS Malaysia is integral to the growth of AWS for South East Asia and is further evidence of the continued investment of AWS to help organisations around the world in accelerating their move to the cloud.

Shane Owenby, Amazon Web Services Managing Director of Asia Pacific, said: “Through the ten years of working with more than a million active customers worldwide, AWS has gained experience in handling almost every imaginable use case. Choosing to locate the AWS Malaysia office in Kuala Lumpur speaks to the rapidly growing customer base, the local talent here and the investment we are making to accelerate cloud adoption across Malaysia. We are excited to work with even more local startups and enterprises to save cost, drive innovation and extend their global reach quickly, while maintaining high levels of reliability and security.”

As said by AWS, organisations in Malaysia are already using AWS’s pay-as-you-go suite of cloud infrastructure services to speed time to market without upfront capital investment. Malaysian customers are adopting AWS to run core enterprise applications, perform data analytics, live streaming of video, build e-commerce platforms, launch new businesses, host websites, deliver global social and mobile applications, and extend on-premises environments.
