AWS Santiago is here. Caleidos operates with you from day 1.
Caleidos is the official Launch Partner of the AWS Santiago region. We know the region from before launch and operate with Chilean clients who migrated for data sovereignty, latency and compliance.
The new AWS Santiago region in Chile is a game-changer for Chilean enterprises. For the first time, financial institutions, insurers, retail, and multinational companies headquartered in Chile can run their critical workloads on Chilean territory with sub-30ms latency — a new level of freedom from the restrictions that previously pushed them to foreign regions in the US or São Paulo. As a Launch Partner, Caleidos has operational experience from before the region was publicly available.
Benefits of operating with Caleidos in Chile
Data sovereignty in Chile
Your data stays in Chilean territory. Compliance with Law 19.628 of personal data protection + the new Law 21.719 (2024) which strengthens residency requirements. Critical for banking, healthcare, and public sector.
Ultra-low latency
Sub-30ms from main Chilean cities (Santiago, Valparaíso, Concepción) vs 100-160ms to us-east-1 or sa-east-1 before. Notable difference in mobile apps, financial transactions and user experience.
Chilean regulatory compliance
Regulated sectors (CMF for financial, Superintendencia de Salud for healthcare, government) can now migrate with confidence and auditor support. Caleidos knows the frameworks.
Native multi-region Latin America
Santiago + Virginia for maximum service maturity and global reach. Santiago + São Paulo for HA/DR within the southern cone. Santiago + Oregon for US west reach. The choice depends on user mix and business SLOs.
Launch Partner — early experience
Pre-launch training, early access to documentation, AWS migration credits. We know the operational gotchas before the local competition learns them.
What we are solving in Chile
Financial workload migration from foreign regions or on-premise
Chilean banks, fintechs and insurers operating in foreign regions due to lack of local option. Caleidos designs the migration plan to AWS Santiago with full service continuity and CMF compliance built-in.
Multi-region Santiago ↔ secondary region (HA/DR tailored)
For critical workloads needing automatic failover. Pattern Santiago ↔ Virginia for maximum service maturity, Santiago ↔ São Paulo to stay in southern cone, Santiago ↔ Oregon for US west reach. Active-active or warm standby configuration per TCO. Contractual RPO/RTO compliance.
Mobile apps and eCommerce with optimal latency
National retail (large chains, B2B), payment apps, delivery platforms. Sub-30ms latency translates to better conversion and measurable NPS.
GenAI with sensitive data that could not leave the country
Bedrock + RAG agents on corporate data that for compliance must remain within Chilean territory. Now viable in AWS Santiago with cloud-native architecture.
Modernization of Chilean on-premise legacy workloads
Companies that postponed migration due to regulatory requirements now have the complete path: assessment, MAP with AWS credits, execution on Chilean territory.
