BYD switches cloud operations from AWS to Google, Alibaba

Add TIA as a preferred source

Chinese automaker BYD is changing its overseas cloud infrastructure from Amazon Web Services (AWS) to Google Cloud and Alibaba.

This transition comes after a partnership announcement with AWS in December 2023 aimed at supporting its connected vehicle initiatives.

Reports indicate that BYD spent over US$10 million annually on AWS services.

The automaker used AWS offerings, including Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service and Amazon CloudFront, for functions such as in-car navigation and entertainment.
