Microsoft and AWS build the multicloud bridge they said customers barely needed
New services promise private 100 Gbps links between the rival platforms without months of networking faff
Microsoft and Amazon Web Services (AWS) have collaborated to create a service that enables secure, high-speed connections between Azure and AWS cloud environments. This "multicloud bridge" addresses the previously claimed lack of technical barriers for multicloud strategies. While Microsoft had previously stated limited customer interest in multicloud solutions beyond specialized use cases, the new Azure Multicloud Interconnect service aims to simplify the process of establishing dedicated private connectivity.
This service, currently in preview, allows for connections operating at up to 100 Gbps from the start, with potential for future scalability. AWS Interconnect – multicloud already supports connections between Azure, Google Cloud, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Both Microsoft and AWS emphasized the importance of high availability, security, and ease of use in their respective services.
Interested customers can contact their respective cloud service providers to participate in the Azure preview.
