The AWS Direct Connect Partner Program replaces the AWS Direct Connect Service Delivery Program with a two-tier path that opens partner validation to new and emerging AWS Regions. Partners can now join at V1 on the strength of their technical capability, before they have customer case studies, and move up to V2 as they win customers. A dedicated validation track also brings validated partners to the AWS European Sovereign Cloud. Read on to learn what changed, how the tiers compare, and how to apply.
