Amazon Web Services announced that Zoom has selected AWS as its preferred cloud provider.

AWS and Zoom are collaborating to develop new solutions for Zoom's enterprise users, leveraging the breadth and depth of AWS to integrate Zoom services with Amazon devices and capabilities to make it easier for organizations to run hybrid office and remote work models.

AWS has supported Zoom since 2011, and earlier this year when the COVID-19 pandemic began impacting businesses, schools, and governments around the world, Zoom expanded its relationship with AWS to keep up with surging demand as hundreds of millions of new Zoom participants began to use the platform for everything from online education to business meetings to social gatherings to exercise classes.

Zoom will be integrating its video meeting service into select Amazon Echo Show devices, as well as incorporating Alexa for Business features, including voice control, into its Zoom Rooms service.

"COVID-19 changed everything for Zoom, putting demands on the company to meet the video conferencing needs of hundreds of millions of new participants around the globe, and AWS was there from the beginning to ensure Zoom could scale to meet these new requirements virtually overnight," said Andy Jassy, CEO of AWS. "When organizations build on AWS - as Zoom has done since 2011 - they transform their business, expanding and innovating much faster. Together, Zoom and AWS have delivered great experiences for new Zoom users around the world, and we look forward to using the cloud to develop new ways to help the world communicate."
