Always the spaces!!!! Why can't it just ignore it
Your site preview for commit 92484bd is ready! 🎉 http://www-testing-pulumi-docs-origin-pr-15600-92484bd0.s3-website.us-west-2.amazonaws.com. |
Note to self: re-organize the list |

- **AWS** announced they will [expand water recycling at data center to over 120 locations by 2030](https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/sustainability/amazon-water-conservation-replenishment-sustainability?p=amazon-to-expand-water-recycling-at-data-centers-to-over-120-locations-across-the-us). “AWS’ new initiative will support communities by easing pressure on local water systems while meeting the needs of the rapidly growing AI economy," said Howard Carter, president of Water Environment Federation (WEF). | ||
- **Google** continues its [goal set in 2021 to replenish 120% of the water](https://blog.google/outreach-initiatives/sustainability/4-new-partnerships-to-help-water-stewardship-and-sustainable-farming/) used in its offices and to cool data centers by 2030. "Google's water stewardship strategy goes beyond managing our own water use — we're actively working to improve watershed health in the communities where we operate," said Ben Townsend, Head of Infrastructure & Sustainability. | ||
- **Microsoft Azure** had ambitious goals for 2025, aiming to power all its data centres with renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, hydroelectric, or geothermal. They continue to work towards being carbon negative by 2030. "We are also on track to replenish more water than we consume across global operations and improve datacenter water use efficiency, including through a new innovative datacenter design that optimizes AI workloads and consumes zero water for cooling to avoid the use of an estimated 125,000 cubic meters annually per facility," said Melanie Nakagawa, Chief Sustainability Officer. |

Multi-cloud and Hybrid (mixing cloud and on-premise infrastructure) environments are a trend that is here to stay. According to Forbes and Gartner, by **2025, 85% of large-sized companies will have a multi-cloud strategy**. Organizations recognize the importance of leveraging multiple cloud providers and on-premises infrastructure to optimize performance, enhance redundancy, and mitigate risks. | ||
AI workloads, especially large language models (LLMs), are driving unprecedented demand for cloud infrastructure. |

AI workloads, especially large language models (LLMs), are driving unprecedented demand for cloud infrastructure. | |
The rise of large-scale AI workloads, especially large language models (LLMs), is fueling a massive wave of investment in next-generation cloud infrastructure. The demand isn't just for virtual compute in the cloud, but for highly specialized AI infrastructure. |
