Amazon to keep investing in cloud despite margin squeeze

Las Vegas

AMAZON.COM Inc plans to build data centres in every large country over time as part of a broader investment push that will eventually make the Internet retailer's cloud computing arm the largest part of its business.

In a roundtable with reporters on Wednesday, Amazon Web Services (AWS) chief Andy Jassy did not provide a timetable for these investments in the AWS unit, which provides Internet-based computing and data management to corporate clients.
