Alibaba Cloud has opened its first cloud region in Brazil. The launch includes two new data centers in São Paulo. It is the company's first presence in South America and follows the Mexico region that started in February 2025. Alibaba Cloud now runs 106 availability zones across 31 regions worldwide. The move is part of Alibaba's $53 billion AI infrastructure plan. Local customers get the full range of cloud services. These cover compute, storage, containers, networking, security, databases, big data and cloud-native tools. The setup aims for low latency, high availability and compliance with Brazilian rules on cybersecurity and data governance. Alibaba Cloud also plans to roll out a set of agentic AI services in the region. These include ACS Agent Sandbox for secure agent environments, DAS Agent for database operations, Data Agent for Analytics, Meta Agent for data assets, and others for pipelines, network ops, security and threat response.
