AWS launched its first cloud region in Italy in 2020 as part of a plan to invest 2 billion euros ($2.2 billion) by 2029.
It counts luxury carmaker Ferrari and insurer Assicurazioni Generali among its customers in the country, its website showed.
AWS has recently unveiled a 15.7 billion euros investment in data centers in Spain's northeastern Aragon region, replacing a previous 10-year plan announced in 2021, when the company earmarked 2.5 billion euros for the country.
