The AWS Cloud Adoption Framework (AWS CAF) workshop delivery guide is available in the AWS Prescriptive Guidance library and offers step-by-step guidance for AWS Partners to run their own workshops with customers. It’s the same guidance we provide internally to AWS staff, providing both sales and delivery kits along with prescriptive guidance that is our gold standard for delivering AWS CAF workshops to help customers in their cloud transformation journey.

Customers implementing sophisticated solutions based on AWS technologies often seek out qualified partners who bring their industry expertise to the table and help accelerate a return on investment (ROI) that achieves business outcomes faster.

Organizations hosting workloads on the cloud are more flexible and scalable, but this also comes with varying costs and the onus is on the organization to choose the appropriate service and cost. Cloud cost optimization should be an integral part of the transformation process and not just an operations task. Learn about Cognizant’s AWS economics service offering and how cost optimization techniques can be incorporated into AWS across the different stages of cloud transformation.

For more than a decade, customers have run their most strategic workloads on AWS, including SAP, VMware, and Windows, due to AWS’s experience, maturity, reliability, security, and performance. While an increasing amount of customers are migrating their strategic workloads to AWS, the majority of businesses still run these critical workloads on-premises. AWS Partners serve as trusted advisors to many of these customers, supporting their migration and innovation journeys on the AWS Cloud.

The AWS Solution Provider Program provides discounts to resellers offering Partner-Led Support, which allows AWS Partners to define the support offerings they sell to customers, rather than doing a straight resale of AWS Support. A newly-released support offering ties AWS Partners’ support discount to their performance on cost and quality goals. AWS anticipates these changes will improve the end-customer experience, while rewarding partners who actively invest in providing exceptional support.
