AWS and NVIDIA Announce 2 Million GPU Infrastructure Expansion for 2027–2028

Event Summary

AWS and NVIDIA announced a multi-year infrastructure plan that includes 2 million additional NVIDIA GPUs in 2027–2028, Vera CPU infrastructure, and planned U.S. government AI factories with 100,000 GPUs. The announcement is a future deployment plan, not present online capacity or completed capital expenditure.

Context & Narrative

Amazon says the plan expands an earlier 1-million-GPU announcement and is intended to support workloads including agentic AI, scientific discovery, enterprise automation, and physical AI. AWS also describes current integrations between Trainium, NVIDIA networking, and other infrastructure. The event records the announced plan and its stated architecture; execution remains contingent on hardware delivery, power, data-center construction, and grid timelines.
