Amazon Web Services( AWS), the clear global leader in Infrastructureas-a-Service( IaaS) with a market share of around 30 %, has become a transformative force in driving cloudnative networks.

Its approach goes far beyond traditional support for telecoms; AWS actively integrates into its infrastructure. Through AWS Wavelength, it embeds compute and storage capabilities directly into operators’ 5G network edges, enabling ultra-low latency and unlocking new possibilities for real-time, high-performance applications.

Rather than building its own 5G network, AWS strategically positions itself as an extension of the telecom ecosystem. Its pioneering collaborations with DISH and O2 Telefónica, including the first migration of a live network and customers to a 5G cloud infrastructure, demonstrate that full carrier-grade networks can now operate on the public cloud. The milestones establish AWS as the definitive IaaS platform for cloudnative telecom innovation, reshaping how networks are built, delivered and monetised. telcomagazine. com 45
