Amazon will break ground beginning next year on advanced data centers that will add 1.3 gigawatts of AI and supercomputing capacity. AWS currently supports more than 11,000 government agencies. The cloud computing software provides security, compliance and governance tools for the government control of unclassified and classified data.

The new facility, which marks LEGO’s sixth distribution center worldwide and second in the United States, will feature advanced automation and will use 100 percent renewable energy to power the site to meet LEED Gold certification.
