Amazon Web Services (AWS) has sold out nearly all cloud computing capacity through 2027 and much of 2028 due to surging AI and enterprise demand, despite a $220 billion capital expenditure buildout in 2026. AWS retains some capacity for on-demand and smaller users but faces long-term infrastructure constraints driven by physical resource limits and specialised hardware needs.
