Amazon Web Services cut a deal on Thursday to give the Trump administration up to $1 billion in discounts, the latest Big Tech firm to slash its prices for the president.
The General Services Administration said the deal, which it announced Thursday morning and lasts until the end of 2028, would help the federal government accomplish its twin goals of modernizing IT infrastructure and incorporating artificial intelligence into its workflows.
“As federal agencies adopt advanced technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning, AWS is positioned to not only help them achieve immediate operational efficiencies, but also to build the foundation for a more secure and innovative government of tomorrow,” Amazon Web Services CEO Matt Garman said in a news release. The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment from NOTUS.
