Amazon, Google Launch Multicloud Networking

Amazon and Google have jointly launched a new service called Multicloud Networking Service. According to both companies, this allows customers to establish a private, high-speed connection between AWS and Google Cloud within minutes. This launch is especially significant following the AWS outage that occurred on October 20, 2025. Due to that outage, nearly a thousand services including Snapchat and Reddit were temporarily disrupted, causing an estimated financial loss of around USD 500–650 million to US businesses. When AWS services go down, all hosted websites and apps are also affected. As a result, a large number of customers canceled orders, and online sales were severely disrupted.
However, with this Amazon + Google multicloud service, even if AWS goes down, systems can automatically switch to Google Cloud within seconds. This greatly reduces the risk of a company going offline due to a cloud failure, allowing apps, databases, user logins, and payment systems to continue running without interruption.

By combining Interconnect and Cross-Cloud Interconnect technologies, AWS, the world’s largest cloud service provider, and Google Cloud now enable customers to set up a full multicloud environment within just a few minutes.

In today’s world, where AI systems, high-traffic platforms, streaming services, gaming, and financial applications are heavily relied upon, outages in 2025 have clearly proven that depending on a single cloud provider is extremely risky.

According to Amazon and Google, this marks a major new step into the multicloud era.
