- AWS and Google Cloud announce closer ties
- New multicloud interoperability tool looks to reduce headaches across the board
- AWS says more cloud partnerships are coming soon
As many large companies will attest, having multiple cloud systems on board can often be a major headache, especially when it comes to interoperability.
AWS is looking to address these issues with a new service that it claims can remove many of the roadblocks in traditional multicloud networking.
Revealed at its AWS re:Invent 2025 event, the new AWS Interconnect – multicloud will look to enable better integration between AWS and other service providers – starting with Google Cloud.
AWS and Google Cloud partnership
The two cloud giants have unveiled a new open specification for network interoperability using both AWS Interconnect – multicloud and Google Cloud’s own Cross-Cloud Interconnect tool.
The companies say this step will allow customers to establish high-bandwidth private connectivity between the two providers much faster and easier than before — as previously, customers connecting different cloud workloads had to either use public connectivity with no bandwidth guarantees or build complex private connectivity systems.
AWS Interconnect – multicloud looks to offer a fully managed, cloud-to-cloud experience using pre-built capacity pools to allow organizations to create connections and adjust their bandwidth as needed.
Service providers are able to fully manage the infrastructure with built-in resiliency and streamlined support, allowing customers to remove the cost of managing physical devices or virtual routing objects from their multicloud network.
“This collaboration between AWS and Google Cloud represents a fundamental shift in multicloud connectivity,” noted Robert Kennedy, VP of Network Services, AWS.
“By defining and publishing a standard that removes the complexity of physical components for customers, with high availability and security fused into that standard, customers no longer have to worry about heavy lifting to create their desired connectivity. When they need multicloud connectivity, it’s ready to activate in minutes with a simple point and click.”
