Overview
Across Canada, governments choose the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud because it meets their unique requirements for security, compliance, reliability and cost savings. AWS works directly with federal, provincial, and municipal government teams to navigate cloud procurement and adoption, and our Canada Region infrastructure lets governments store data in-country, addressing data residency and compliance requirements. With over 200 services on offer, Canadian government decision-makers choose AWS for flexibility, speed and power--reducing time-to-launch from weeks to hours, and transforming citizen service delivery.
