Amazon Web Services

Amazon Web Services is the cloud computing division of Amazon, known in Chinese contexts as 亚马逊云科技. In elsewhere's coverage, it functions as both infrastructure provider and active ecosystem builder in China's tech and startup scene: it powers services like TiDB Cloud (PingCAP's DBaaS product, which named AWS its preferred cloud provider) and is integrated with developer tools such as Dify , while its global cloud network spans regions from Virginia to Singapore .

The company's China-facing efforts emphasize startup support—offering credits, GPU compute resources, and community programs—and it frequently appears as a co-host or sponsor at industry events organized by venture firms including Yunqi Capital, Source Code Capital, and Gaorong Ventures . AWS also positions its agent infrastructure (referenced as "AgentCore") as a full-stack, low-code alternative to specialized startups, aiming at what Alibaba Cloud's Wuying president described as "a普惠 business" accessible to smaller companies rather than just elite developers .
