In today’s fast-paced development landscape, containers have emerged as a vital tool for developers to efficiently package and deploy applications. They offer a streamlined and consistent environment, allowing software to run and scale effortlessly across various platforms.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) customers increasingly leverage containers as the backbone of their computing needs, supporting both legacy and new workloads such as microservices, big data analytics, machine learning models, and batch processing tasks. During AWS re:Invent 2018, we unveiled the AWS Container Competency Program, aimed at spotlighting distinguished AWS Partner Network (APN) Partner solutions that facilitate running workloads on containers within the AWS ecosystem.
The AWS Container Competency acknowledges APN Technology Partners whose products or services seamlessly integrate with AWS offerings, enhancing customers’ capabilities to operate container workloads effectively. These partners help optimize various aspects including orchestration and scheduling, infrastructure management, application build/test processes, deployment strategies, as well as monitoring, logging, and securing containerized environments.
Collaborate with an AWS Competency Partner
A primary advantage of the AWS Competency Program is its ability to foster customer confidence by guiding organizations in selecting top APN Partners based on specific workloads, solutions, or industry needs. The program identifies and validates APN Partners who have exhibited significant customer success and specialized expertise in distinct solution areas.
To attain the AWS Competency designation, APN Partners must undergo thorough technical validation related to industry-specific technologies. This validation process assures customers that they are choosing from a trusted network of partners, among the many options available.
