Alibaba Cloud · Brazil

On 27 August 2026 Alibaba Cloud launched its first cloud region in Brazil (São Paulo), comprising two new data centres — its first cloud region in South America. The region offers compute, storage, container, networking, security, database, big-data and cloud-native services on local infrastructure, and Alibaba Cloud said it plans to introduce a suite of enterprise-grade agentic AI services there (ACS Agent Sandbox, DAS Agent, Data Agent for Analytics, DataWorks Data Agent, Agent Security Center, AI Security Guardrails 2.0, Agentic SOC). It follows the Mexico region opened in February 2025.

Sources & notes

Record note: The US$53bn figure is Alibaba group-wide AI/cloud infrastructure capex quoted in the same release, not a Brazil-specific investment, so scale_usd_num is left blank deliberately. The agentic AI service suite is described in the release as planned ("also plans to introduce"), while the two data centres and the cloud region itself are stated as launched. ｜ 2026-09-13 补正：local_partners_text 补入 4Linux（主来源有独立段落与联合创始人具名引述），partner_primary_name 仍为 Insi。**未写入** Ascenty / Equinix / Cirion——Valor 原文说的是阿里云整体设施合作方，未指明承载本次 region，写入即为推定。被并方 LA-N001 不在候选集中，无需删除动作。
