Company Information

Company Name: AWS EMEA SARL (Saudi Arabia Branch)

Company Website: https://aws.amazon.com

Company Address: 38 Avenue John F. Kennedy, L-1855 Luxembourg

AWS EMEA SARL (Saudi Arabia Branch) is the locally registered branch of Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL, the European legal entity through which Amazon Web Services (AWS) conducts many of its commercial, contractual and regional operations across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. As part of the global AWS organization, the Saudi Arabia Branch operates to enable customers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to procure, deploy and consume AWS cloud services while addressing local commercial, regulatory and customer‑support requirements. The branch functions as a localized presence for AWS EMEA SARL, supporting sales, partner engagement, customer success and localized relationship management for public‑sector and private‑sector organizations seeking to use AWS cloud infrastructure, platform services and managed offerings. Company overview and position: AWS (Amazon Web Services) is the cloud computing arm of Amazon.com and is one of the world’s largest providers of on‑demand cloud infrastructure and platform services. The EMEA SARL legal entity (a société à responsabilité limitée incorporated in Luxembourg) is the regional corporate vehicle that governs many AWS EMEA commercial and contractual activities. The Saudi Arabia Branch is an extension of that entity configured to serve customers, partners and stakeholders within Saudi Arabia under local regulatory frameworks and business practices. As a branch of AWS EMEA SARL, its role is primarily commercial and customer‑facing rather than functioning as a separate independently incorporated cloud provider; it offers AWS’s suite of cloud capabilities to local customers and coordinates with other AWS global and regional teams for technical, operational and compliance matters. Core business activities: The branch’s activities align with AWS’s principal cloud offerings and include: enabling customers to adopt, migrate and operate cloud workloads on AWS infrastructure; facilitating procurement and contracting for AWS services within Saudi Arabia; engaging with enterprise, startup and public‑sector customers to architect and implement cloud solutions; working with local partners and systems integrators to deliver managed services and professional services; and coordinating compliance, data protection and security posture discussions that reflect local regulations. The branch supports technical and commercial engagements around infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), software as a service (SaaS) offerings provided on AWS, and related cloud consulting and support programs. Main products and services: The Saudi Arabia Branch provides access to the broad AWS portfolio of cloud products and managed services that are offered globally. Core compute and infrastructure services include Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) for virtual servers and AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) for container orchestration; storage and data services include Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS); database services include Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS), Amazon DynamoDB (NoSQL) and Amazon Aurora. Serverless and application services include AWS Lambda, Amazon API Gateway and AWS AppRunner. Networking and content delivery capabilities include Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), AWS Transit Gateway and Amazon CloudFront. Data analytics, streaming and big‑data offerings include Amazon EMR, Amazon Redshift, Amazon Kinesis and AWS Glue. Artificial intelligence and machine learning services include Amazon SageMaker and a suite of prebuilt AI/ML services for vision, speech, language and personalization. Security, identity and compliance services include AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), AWS Key Management Service (KMS), AWS Shield and AWS Security Hub; management and governance services include AWS CloudFormation, AWS Config and Amazon CloudWatch. The branch also supports AWS partner programs, professional services, training and certification, enterprise support plans, and migration tools and services to help customers move workloads to AWS. Customer segments and use cases: The branch supports a wide range of customers — from startups and independent software vendors to large enterprises and government agencies — across common cloud use cases such as modernizing applications, hosting web and mobile backends, data analytics and warehousing, machine learning model training and inference, backup and disaster recovery, and global content delivery. AWS commonly positions its services to support both greenfield cloud‑native applications and the migration and modernization of existing on‑premises enterprise systems. Compliance, security and local engagement: As with other AWS regional and country branches, the Saudi Arabia Branch engages with customers on matters of data residency, regulatory compliance and cloud security. AWS publishes compliance documentation, security whitepapers and shared responsibility guidance that the branch uses to advise customers on secure cloud architectures and compliance mapping to local regulations. The branch coordinates with AWS global teams and local partners to deliver cloud adoption programs, training, certifications and localized support resources to accelerate cloud adoption in Saudi Arabia. Partnerships and ecosystem: The branch works with the AWS Partner Network (APN) — a global and regional ecosystem of consulting partners, system integrators, managed service providers and independent software vendors — to deliver implementation, migration and managed operations services. Through partner programs and customer engagement initiatives, the branch helps build local capabilities and supports digital transformation projects across industries such as financial services, telecommunications, healthcare, education and public sector organizations. Governance and relationship to AWS global operations: The Saudi Arabia Branch operates as a local business presence of Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL rather than as an independent AWS region provider. It aligns contractually and operationally with AWS’s global service catalog and cloud infrastructure while addressing local commercial needs, support pathways and customer relationship management for organizations operating within Saudi Arabia.
