AWS announces AWS Interconnect - multicloud connectivity with Microsoft Azure in preview
AWS announces the public preview of AWS Interconnect — multicloud with Microsoft Azure.
Customers have been adopting multicloud strategies while migrating more applications to the cloud. They do so for many reasons including interoperability requirements, the freedom to choose technology that best suits their needs, and the ability to build and deploy applications on any environment with greater ease and speed. Previously, when interconnecting workloads across multiple cloud service providers (CSPs), customers had to go the route of a ‘do-it-yourself’ multicloud approach, leading to complexities of building and managing global multi-layered networks at scale. AWS Interconnect - multicloud is the first purpose-built product of its kind and a new way of how clouds connect and talk to each other, allowing customers to quickly provision resilient, scalable private connections to other cloud providers.
AWS introduced AWS Interconnect – multicloud in preview at re:Invent 2025, publishing an open specification for network interoperability that raised the bar for the industry and established a framework any provider can adopt, inviting the broader ecosystem to participate. Today, Microsoft Azure is the latest CSP to adopt the specification that powers AWS Interconnect. Customers who operate between AWS and Azure can now manage their connectivity through a single, managed experience, without compromise. This allows AWS to provide a consistent, simple experience to our customers on Microsoft Azure (Preview), OCI (Generally Available), and Google Cloud (Generally Available).
Interconnect - multicloud is available in preview with Microsoft Azure in the following AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia), US West (N. California), Asia Pacific (Sydney), and Europe (Frankfurt). You can create a preview Interconnect using the AWS Management Console, Command Line Interface (CLI), or API. For more information, see the AWS Interconnect - multicloud documentation.
