The companies say the solution is designed to support businesses that rely on uninterrupted access to cloud platforms, at a time when even brief internet disruptions can lead to major operational outages.

The announcement comes just weeks after an Amazon Web Services outage affected multiple online services, highlighting the need for more resilient infrastructure.

By combining capabilities across their cloud ecosystems, Amazon and Google aim to provide a networking option that enhances stability for organisations using multiple cloud providers.

According to both companies, the new service is intended to help businesses maintain continuous operations and better manage the risks associated with unexpected network failures.
