Matt Garman, AWS | theCUBE Exclusive AWS Special Announcement ahead of re:Invent '25

In this AWS special announcement ahead of re:Invent ‘25, theCUBE Research’s John Furrier meets with AWS CEO Matt Garman to break down a major investment aimed at accelerating the government’s AI future. Garman explains how AWS has spent more than a decade modernizing public-sector infrastructure and why today’s AI push requires a new level of national-scale capacity.

Garman reveals that AWS is committing $50 billion to deliver more than 1.3 gigawatts of computing capacity across GovCloud and the government’s secret and top-secret regions. He frames this as essential infrastructure that strengthens national security, expands AI and HPC research and equips federal agencies to operate with greater stability, efficiency and technological readiness.

Throughout the conversation, Garman emphasizes the broader impact on society, from improving citizen services to enabling deeper innovation across education, research and industry. He notes that this initiative is not just a cloud expansion — it is a strategic move to ensure the United States maintains leadership in AI and builds the foundation for long-term digital resilience.
