- AWS and Google Cloud announce closer ties
- The new multicloud interoperability tool seeks to reduce headaches across the board
- AWS says more cloud partnerships coming soon
As many large companies will confirm, having multiple systems in the cloud can often be a major headache, particularly when it comes to interoperability.
AWS is looking to solve these problems with a new service that it says can eliminate many of the obstacles in traditional multi-cloud networks.
Revealed at its AWS re:Invent 2025 event, the new AWS Interconnect – multi-cloud will seek to enable better integration between AWS and other service providers, starting with Google Cloud.
Partnership between AWS and Google Cloud
The two cloud giants have revealed a new open specification for network interoperability using 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 use public connectivity with no bandwidth guarantees or build complex private connectivity systems.
AWS Interconnect – Multi-Cloud seeks to deliver 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 can fully manage the infrastructure, with built-in resiliency and optimized support giving customers the ability to eliminate the overhead of managing physical devices or virtual routing objects from their multi-cloud networks.
“This collaboration between AWS and Google Cloud represents a fundamental shift in multi-cloud connectivity,” said Robert Kennedy, vice president of network services at AWS.
“By defining and publishing a standard that removes the complexity of any physical components for customers, with high availability and security fused into that standard, customers no longer need to worry about any heavy lifting to create the desired connectivity. When they need multi-cloud connectivity, it’s ready to be activated in minutes with a simple point-and-click.”
