  • Contact AWS China Global Account Team: aws-g2c@amazon.com

IT Planning
AWS On-boarding
  • As AWS China Regions’ operations are separate from other AWS global operations, a set of credentials that are distinct and separate from other AWS global accounts is required. Specifically, customers who wish to use AWS services in China must create an AWS China Account. Currently only commercial users can obtain cloud service accounts in China, as AWS China Regions do not support individual personal account registration. Sinnet and NWCD are subject to real name verification requirements under CSL and Anti- Terrorism laws. To meet this requirement, customers must submit their identity information before they create accounts for AWS China Regions or use AWS China services. Customers will need to make sure they have the following items in order to create an account, including among others:

    • A scanned copy of its Chinese business license
    • An email address with corporate domain name for registration
    • A local China contact person with a scanned copy of photo ID, email, and mobile phone number

    Once the account is created, customers can create additional accounts associated with the
    initial account registration. China region sign up process / sign up

    Basic Requirements:

    1. A scanned copy of its Chinese business license
    2. An email address with corporate domain name for registration (Optional)
    3. A local China contact person with ID, Chinese name, email, and mobile phone number
       
  • Any public facing website hosted in China should have an ICP filin g. Sinnet and NWCD are required by law to verify customers’ ICP filing and other applicable license before unblocking 80/8080/443 ports for the customer. Your AWS China Regions business development manager can share our experience and understanding relating to common regulatory issues for reference, if you have further questions on this topic.
    Your AWS China Regions business development manager can work with Sinnet and NWCD to help you navigate the ICP filing process. Generally, a customer needs to provide basic information of its Chinese entity (e.g. company name. business license, etc.), contact information and scan copy of ID of a responsible person of the Chinese entity (usually the legal representative or IT head), top-level domain name, and a public IP (for AWS China Regions’ customers, normally this would be Elastic IP or ELB reserved IP) linked to the top-level domain name. More details for assistance with customers’ ICP filing process can also be found on Sinnet and NWCD websites:

    Within 30 days after completing the ICP filing, submit the ICP filing information to National Internet Security Management Service Platform.

    contact us

  • Customers who plan to use AWS services in AWS China Regions must sign up for a separate set of account credentials that are distinct and separate from other AWS global accounts and need to enter into to customer agreements with each of Sinnet and NWCD respectively. Legal terms for the AWS China (Beijing) Region and AWS China (Ningxia) Region, including Sinnet Customer Agreement for AWS China (Beijing Region) and NWCD Customer Agreement for AWS China (Ningxia Region) can be found at here.

  • 1. Multi - level protection scheme

    The multi-level protection scheme (“MLPS”) is core part of the Chinese cybersecurity legal regime. It requires network operators classify their networks into different security levels scaling from Level 1 to Level 5 and undertake the corresponding level of cybersecurity obligations. Your AWS China Regions business development manager can share our experience and understanding relating to common regulatory issues from technical perspective for reference, if you have further questions on this topic.

  • AWS services in Chinese mainland are priced and billed in local currency, namely Chinese Yuan (CNY), and are processed by Sinnet and NWCD depending on which region you are using. Customers will receive a monthly invoice based on AWS service usage in AWS China Regions. This invoice will be sent to the email address of the customer’s AWS China account owner, and the bill can also be accessed from AWS China service console. Customers must remit payment via either wire transfer or online transfer.
    Payment must be settled in CNY through a local bank account in China. Consolidated billing is supported, and some AWS consulting partners in China provides billing services to help their customers settle AWS China services’ payment.

Collaboration between Amazon Web Services and ZS is analogous to the two chains of a DNA double helix. Building on the two chains, their respective teams, evolving their distinctive characteristics over times, have worked together to develop products and services that meet diverse needs of customers.”

— Jack,Head of Cloud Business, ZS China

Our company saw an opportunity to rid itself of the traditional burdens of IT and enable the company’s IT team to work on accelerated innovations and enhance competitive technologies by shutting down data centers and migrating all business systems to the cloud” .

— Dominic Wheeler, CIO of Swire Coca-Cola

We saved a lot of time thanks to AWS cloud computing resources in China and we were able to reuse the infrastructure configuration that we have relied on globally. Re-architecting our system for any other local provider would have delayed our China launch by over a year.”

— Jim Tyrrell, Head of Infrastructure, Canva

We highly appreciate the powerful & scalable compute & storage capability AWS provides, and enabling efficient data upload. Meanwhile AWS team helped a lot so we can launch successfully on time.”
