Amazon AWS TLV - Hartuv

TLV data centers are part of the il-central-1 AWS region: Middle East (Israel).

The Beit Shemesh facility is located strategically between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, close to Road 1, in the Hartuv / Har Tov industrial zone. Rumors has it that this was the first of the three data centers to launch, and hence is very likely to be the TLV1 data center.

Amazon does not publish exact site codes for their individual data centers though, but as it is one of the original three data centers, that Amazon established when launcing their Tel Aviv region, it must be either TLV1, TLV2 or TLV3.

The Tel Aviv region is known as il-central-1 and consists of three availability zones, spread over three AWS data centers located in Truvot, Shoham and Beit Shemesh. Originally the data centers were planned to support 16 MW of power each, but according to local media they were launched at 25% capacity with 4 MW power each. Each facility had an expected cost of $400 million and according to local media the construction was carried out by local real estate company Azrieli and US based Compass Data Centers.

The region became available in August 2023 and was partly due to AWS winning the Israeli government's Nimbus tender, alongside Google. This was a tender to provide cloud services to the public sector and military services of Israel, which were to be hosted inside Israel rather than abroad. The total investment from AWS in to its presence in Israel, was projected to be $7.2 billion through 2037.
