Amazon Web Services (AWS) has launched the preview of AWS Interconnect – multicloud, a new networking service designed to simplify and secure connectivity between Amazon Web Services environments and other major cloud providers. Google Cloud is the first launch partner, with support for Microsoft Azure scheduled for 2026.
The new service comes as enterprises increasingly adopt multicloud strategies to improve flexibility, meet performance requirements across different workloads, and take advantage of platform-specific capabilities. Until now, customers trying to connect workloads across clouds often relied on complex, manual networking setups that were costly, slow to deploy, and difficult to scale.
A Purpose-Built Approach to Multicloud Networking
AWS Interconnect – multicloud is the first product purpose-built to provide private, secure, high-speed connectivity between Amazon VPCs and other cloud environments. The service offers:
- Dedicated bandwidth for predictable performance
- Built-in resiliency across multiple network paths
- Low-latency links for real-time and distributed workloads
- Integrated support for AWS networking services like AWS Transit Gateway, AWS Cloud WAN, and Amazon VPC
With Interconnect – multicloud, enterprises can set up connections to Google Cloud in minutes using the AWS Management Console, instead of the weeks or months typically required to manually build multicloud architectures.
Designed for a Multicloud Future
Amazon says the service will help enterprises eliminate the operational overhead of managing global, multi-layered networks while enabling more seamless interoperability between cloud platforms. The preview is now available in five AWS Regions, and cloud service providers can adopt the service using an open API package published on GitHub.
The company notes that the service is designed to support growing demand for distributed cloud workloads spanning analytics, AI/ML models, data platforms, and large-scale application deployment across multiple ecosystems.
