TotalEnergies will also assess AWS’s computing technology to expedite its critical workflows, as well as innovation across its businesses worldwide.
AWS Strategic Industries vice-president Kathrin Buvac said: “Working with TotalEnergies on innovative cloud technologies to drive reductions in carbon emissions and present new renewable energy sources is a tremendous opportunity.
