Amazon and Google Launch Multicloud Networking Service
Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud on Dec. 1, 2025 launched a jointly developed multicloud networking service to provide private, high-speed links between their platforms in minutes instead of weeks. The offering combines AWS’s Interconnect–multicloud with Google Cloud’s Cross-Cloud Interconnect, and follows an Oct. 20 AWS outage that analysts say cost U.S. firms $500–$650 million; Salesforce is an early user.
