Compare by question
Cloud regions by country
All 43 countriesStraight from the source
MethodRegion, zone and country counts come from each provider’s own region list, row by row, so you can check any region in one click. Capex comes from earnings releases and filings. AI capacity is what the operator itself announced, in gigawatts or megawatts, with the date.
Need every quarter of capex since 2023? Hyperscaler Capex has the full series. Need the physical campuses and their megawatts? AI Data Center List maps them.
Hyperscaler questions, answered
What is a hyperscaler?
A hyperscaler builds and runs data centers at global scale and sells or uses that capacity through software. The customer clouds are AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud, Huawei Cloud and IBM Cloud. Meta and Apple are internal hyperscalers: they build at the same scale for their own products.
Which hyperscaler has the most regions?
Microsoft lists 59 Azure regions with region codes and advertises 80+. Oracle documents 45 commercial OCI regions and advertises 50+. Google Cloud runs 43 regions with 130 zones, and AWS runs 39 regions with 124 availability zones. AWS and Google Cloud build every region with at least three zones; most Oracle regions have one availability domain.
How much are hyperscalers spending on data centers?
In the third quarter of 2026 Amazon bought USD 77.3bn of property and equipment, Alphabet spent USD 51.4bn, Microsoft USD 45.2bn including finance leases, and Meta USD 34.9bn. Amazon guides about USD 220bn of cash capex for 2026 and Alphabet USD 195bn to 205bn. Hyperscaler Capex tracks every quarter.
How much AI capacity have hyperscalers announced?
AWS added 3.9 GW of power in 2025 and plans to double its total by the end of 2027. Oracle is building up to 4.5 GW of Stargate capacity for OpenAI. Meta’s Hyperion campus in Louisiana scales to 5 GW, and CoreWeave had more than 4.6 GW contracted at the end of Q3 2026.
Which countries have the most cloud regions?
The United States leads with 48 tracked regions from ten providers, followed by China, Germany, India, Canada, France, Japan and Australia. Each country page lists every region with its code, city, zones and launch year, so you can see which providers keep data in-country.
Can I download the data?
Yes. The operator table is at /data.csv and /data.json, and all 306 regions are at /regions.csv and /regions.json, under CC BY 4.0. Credit Hyperscaler List. Every row carries its source URLs and the date we checked them.
