AWS announces preview of AWS Interconnect – multicloud, providing simple, resilient, high-speed private connections to other cloud service providers (CSPs), starting in preview with Google Cloud as the first launch partner and then with Microsoft Azure 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. It 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 networking services such as AWS Transit Gateway, AWS Cloud WAN, and Amazon VPC to other Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) quickly, instead of weeks or months.
Interconnect – multicloud is available in preview in five AWS Regions. You can enable this capability using the AWS Management Console. CSPs can also easily adopt via a published open API package on GitHub. For more information, see the AWS Interconnect – multicloud documentation pages.
