Why does Nairobi matter to AWS?
As an organization, we are keen to grow and scale up our AWS services in Kenya, a country in a strategic location in Africa. I remember before we set up, several different locations were presented to me, and Nairobi came out on top. I have consulted widely with local teams, including customers and banks, and all conversations were about the growth, curiosity, and innovation that our new center in Nairobi will bring. Everyone is excited about doing new things and taking advantage of AWS cloud services to grow talent around the country.
