AWS announces general availability of AWS Interconnect - multicloud

AWS announces general availability (GA) of AWS Interconnect - multicloud, providing simple, resilient, high-speed private connections to other cloud service providers (CSPs). With GA comes Google Cloud as the first launch partner, with Microsoft Azure coming later in 2026.

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 providers, customers had to go the route of a ‘do-it-yourself’ multicloud approach, leading to complexities of 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. Simplifying connectivity into AWS, Interconnect - multicloud enables customers to quickly establish private, secure, high-speed network connections with dedicated bandwidth and built-in resiliency between their Amazon VPCs and other cloud environments. Interconnect - multicloud makes it easy to connect AWS resources or VPCs to other CSPs. Customers can also quickly scale connectivity to multiple VPCs or Regions via associating Interconnect with other networking services such as AWS Transit Gateway and AWS Cloud WAN, instead of taking weeks or months. Interconnect - multicloud introduces a new, single-fee pricing structure based on the customer’s selected bandwidth and the geographical scope of the connectivity to other CSPs. Customers can also use one free, local 500Mbps interconnect per Region starting in May. To learn more please see the Interconnect - multicloud Pricing documentation page.

Interconnect - multicloud is available in five AWS Regions. You can enable this capability using the AWS Management Console, Command Line Interface (CLI), or API, and CSPs can also adopt via a published open API package on GitHub.
