News from the Google empire: the cloud platform is to be expanded to include the three regions of Germany, Chile and Saudi Arabia.

Google's Cloud Platform continues to expand: in 2020, it was expanded to include the four new regions of Seoul, Salt Lake City, Las Vegas and Jakarta. Yesterday, Google announced that it will now also be available in Saudi Arabia, Chile and Germany. In Germany, this complements the existing cloud platform in Frankfurt am Main. Customers to date include Deutsche Börse and Metro.

Worldwide, Google, Microsoft and Amazon are the main competitors in the cloud business. Until now, Google has always been in third place in terms of the availability of its offering, but with the expansion it has now announced, it is catching up with AWS, the Amazon offering. The Google Cloud is currently available in 24 regions in 73 zones. In addition to the three newly announced regions, there have long been plans to expand to France, Italy, Qatar and Spain in the coming years.
