Industry Findings: Cloud compute adoption in Colombia reflects steady enterprise investment as organizations strengthen digital platforms while aligning with evolving data protection and continuity expectations. Enterprises across BFSI, retail, logistics, telecommunications, and public administration are modernizing enterprise IT systems and analytics environments to improve service delivery and operational efficiency. Governance direction sharpened in May-2024 when Colombia reinforced cloud and data protection guidance for public-sector systems, emphasizing data security, operational transparency, and service availability. This guidance has shaped private-sector migration strategies, particularly for workloads supporting payments, digital commerce, and citizen services. Since then, hybrid deployment models have been widely adopted to balance scalability with regulatory alignment. Demand centers on general-purpose and compute-optimized virtual machines supporting transactional systems and analytics workloads. Elastic compute supports development environments and variable demand scenarios. Through 2025, enterprises have continued emphasizing predictable performance, disciplined cost management, and structured migration plans rather than rapid capacity expansion.
Industry Player Insights: Key providers operating in Colombia include Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. In Aug-2024, Amazon Web Services expanded compute capacity supporting enterprise and public-sector workloads in Colombia. In Jan-2025, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure increased availability of compute-optimized instances, strengthening support for analytics and data-driven enterprise applications.
