Meta Inks $10 Billion Cloud Partnership with Google

Meta Platforms has reportedly entered into a massive six-year cloud services agreement with Google, carrying an estimated value of over $10 billion. While the companies have not formally announced the deal, industry insiders suggest that Meta will tap into Google Cloud’s infrastructure. including servers, networking, and storage to power its growing operations.

The development comes shortly after Mark Zuckerberg emphasized Meta’s plans to invest heavily in AI-focused data centers, with projected spending in the hundreds of billions of dollars. In July, the company revised its 2024 capital expenditure guidance, raising the estimate to $66–72 billion, a $2 billion increase at the lower end of the forecast.

At the same time, Meta is also restructuring its infrastructure strategy. Earlier this month, the company disclosed intentions to sell off $2 billion worth of data center assets, looking to bring in external collaborators who can help shoulder the costs of scaling its AI ecosystem.

This deal also adds momentum to Google Cloud’s rapid growth. The platform has seen notable wins in recent months, including its June 2025 agreement with OpenAI, which highlighted Google’s rising influence in the market for AI-driven cloud workloads. Alphabet’s cloud arm reported nearly 32% year-over-year revenue growth in Q2, beating Wall Street expectations.

If finalized, the partnership with Meta would not only bolster Google Cloud’s revenue trajectory but also underscore its expanding role as a critical enabler for companies racing to deploy large-scale AI infrastructure.
