Amazon, Google Boost Connectivity With Multicloud Networking Solution

In Focus

• AWS and Google Cloud collaborate in a multicloud networking solution
• The solution supports interoperability between the two cloud providers
• Salesforce has started using the multicloud networking solution

Amazon has teamed up with Google to introduce a multicloud networking service. According to Yahoo Finance, the Amazon and Google multicloud networking initiative allows businesses to develop private, high-speed connections between Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud within minutes.

Multicloud Solution Boosts Interoperability Capabilities

Before the two computing power providers developed the secure cloud-to-cloud networking solution, customers had to set up complex networking components like equipment and physical connections manually. This process required coordination with multiple teams and led to lengthy lead times that ran into weeks or even months.

AWS wanted to develop network interoperability capability as a specification that could be integrated by any cloud service and partnered with Google Cloud. The latest initiative combines the AWS Interconnect multicloud with Google Cloud’s Cross-Cloud Interconnect to boost network interoperability.

“This collaboration between AWS and ​Google Cloud represents a fundamental shift in multicloud connectivity,”AWS VP for Network Services Robert Kennedy said in a post published on the Google website.

Since 2006, the growth of AWS has grown to become a market leader in the cloud computing industry. Currently, it is the largest cloud service provider in the world, followed by Microsoft’s Azure and Google Cloud.

Collaboration Addresses Demand for Reliable Connectivity

According to Google, Salesforce is among the companies that have used the multicloud networking solution. By facilitating faster connectivity, AWS and Google Cloud are responding to growing demand for reliable connectivity.

“This collaboration enables our customers to move their data and applications between clouds with simplified global connectivity and enhanced operational effectiveness. Today’s announcement delivers on Google Cloud’s Cross-Cloud Network solution focused on delivering an open and unified multicloud experience for customers.” Google Cloud Networking VP/GM Rob Enns said in a post published on the company’s website.

The enterprise cloud connectivity upgrade comes at a time when internet disruptions can lead to major service outages. The two cloud service providers launched their multicloud networking service about a month after an AWS outage disrupted popular apps like Reddit and Snapchat on October 20, 2025, as per Yahoo Finance.

Parametrix, an analytics firm, estimates that this outage could cost American firms losses amounting between $500 million and $650 million.

AWS Third-Quarter Revenue Soared Significantly

AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud provide cloud computing and data storage services to enterprises, individuals, and governments globally. Recently, Microsoft acknowledged that it has been experiencing a data center capacity crunch, which in its forecast will persist until June 2026.

In Q3, revenue from Amazon’s cloud computing business amounted to $33 billion, which is more than double that of Google Cloud’s. AWS revenue growth caused Amazon stock to soar by close to 12%.

In recent years, tech giants like Microsoft, Alphabet, and Amazon have committed billions of dollars towards development of cloud infrastructure for AI workloads as demand for the technology accelerates.
