Amazon Web Services (AWS) has unveiled plans to invest an estimated USD 11 billion in expanding its infrastructure in Georgia, solidifying the state’s growing reputation as a hub for technology and innovation. The initiative, supported by state and local leaders, is expected to create over 550 high-skilled jobs and drive advancements in cloud computing and artificial intelligence (AI).
