Additionally, 11,180 full- and part-time highly skilled workers at local businesses supported AWS construction, operations, and maintenance on-site at AWS facilities in Virginia.

In 2021, 8,710 FTE employees supported AWS businesses in Virginia in roles such as data center engineers, data center technicians, solutions architects, software engineers, business developers, and more. The state’s commitment to this growth has helped make it the cloud capital of the world, which has only been possible through government and industry collaboration.Īmazon employees support AWS businesses from data centers across northern Virginia, a corporate office in Fairfax County, and Amazon's second headquarters in Arlington County. Every day, approximately 70% of global internet traffic moves through data centers in Virginia.

Virginia has been crucial to those connections. As more of the world takes advantage of cloud computing, AWS has made significant contributions to building its infrastructure in Virginia-and around the world-and will continue to invest in order to help people connect to friends and family, work remotely, shop online, experiment with new technologies, and stream movies, TV shows, music, and video games.
