AWS rolled out a preview of Interconnect multicloud, which lets companies hook their Amazon VPCs directly to other cloud providers without the usual DIY networking headache. Google Cloud is the first partner on board, and Microsoft Azure will join sometime in 2026. The whole point is giving customers dedicated bandwidth and built-in redundancy when they need to run workloads across multiple clouds instead of wrestling with janky multilayered network setups that take weeks or months to configure.
The service works with AWS Transit Gateway, AWS Cloud WAN, and Amazon VPC, and it launched in five AWS regions. Cloud providers can plug in using an open API package that AWS dumped on GitHub, so adoption should be pretty straightforward for anyone who wants to connect their infrastructure without burning through engineering hours on custom integrations.
