Mail.ru Group and Amazon want to launch a joint cloud service

Revenues will be divided between both companies based on consumption on each platform. 

How

a company spokesman told the Mail.ru, the main reason for cooperation was geographical and legal aspects. The fact is that AWS is the world's largest company in the cloud infrastructure market, but in Russia it had a limited presence: the nearest data center is in Germany. 

On the other hand, foreign providers cannotto fully enter the Russian market due to regulation of personal data, so the new partnership will help the company operate unhindered in the country. 

Partnership with MCS will help globalAWS customers can freely enter the Russian market, while complying with all the requirements of local legislation, and Russian MCS customers will have the opportunity to quickly scale in foreign markets.
