Amazon Web Services and Nvidia announced on August 27, 2026, a major expansion of their infrastructure partnership, with plans to deploy 2 million additional Nvidia GPUs across AWS’s global infrastructure during 2027 and 2028. The new capacity will include Nvidia’s Blackwell Ultra, Rubin, and Rubin Ultra platforms, and builds on AWS’s previously announced plan to add more than 1 million Nvidia GPUs beginning in 2026.
“NVIDIA and AWS have built one of the great growth engines of the AI era, and demand is running ahead of every forecast,” Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang said in the companies’ joint announcement. “For 16 years, we have scaled NVIDIA computing in the cloud together. Now, we are expanding our partnership across the full stack — GPUs, CPUs, networking, open models and software — to make agentic and physical AI real at an unprecedented pace and scale that only AWS and NVIDIA can deliver.”
Robotics, Federal AI Factories, and CPU Infrastructure
The expanded collaboration extends beyond GPU deployment. AWS will integrate Nvidia’s Vera CPU-based infrastructure into its cloud, giving customers a CPU option purpose-built for AI agent workloads alongside accelerated compute. The companies also plan to build AI factories for the U.S. government, including deploying 100,000 Nvidia GPUs on AWS infrastructure dedicated to federal and national-security workloads.
On the physical-AI and robotics side, Amazon Robotics is working with Nvidia to develop next-generation robots using Nvidia’s Jetson platform, Omniverse simulation libraries, and the Isaac open robotics development platform. The collaboration spans simulation, synthetic data generation, robot training, route optimization, functional safety, and real-to-sim validation, running on GPU-accelerated Amazon EC2 instances — work with direct relevance to warehouse automation, logistics security, and the broader push toward AI-driven physical infrastructure that industrial and critical-infrastructure operators are increasingly evaluating.
The deal also covers data processing and open-model availability, including GPU-accelerated processing on Amazon EMR via new EC2 G7 instances and continued availability of Nvidia’s Nemotron model family on Amazon Bedrock and SageMaker.
