# AWS (Amazon Web Services)

## Profile
A leading cloud provider (canonical: aws.amazon.com).

## Role in the source
Cited for **acquiring [[entity-talen]]'s data-center campus adjacent to the [[entity-susquehanna-nuclear]] station**, demonstrating how hyperscalers are organizing AI infrastructure directly around physical energy access — a core example of [[claim-hyperscalers-moving-upstream]]. External reporting frames the move as securing proximity to a large, firm power source.
