The demand for cloud talent is rising as the reach of transformative cloud technologies continues to grow. In turn, this increases pressure on human resources (HR) to successfully recruit, retain, and reskill top industry talent. This post details the impact of AWS training on AWS Partner organizations, ranging from improved business outcomes to increased job satisfaction among your employees, and how you can inspire your team to participate in training and earn certifications.

We are excited to highlight 60 AWS Partners that received new designations in January for our global AWS Competency, AWS Managed Service Provider (MSP), AWS Service Delivery, and AWS Service Ready programs. These designations span workload, solution, and industry, and help AWS customers identify top AWS Partners that can deliver on core business objectives. AWS Partners are focused on your success, helping customers take full advantage of the business benefits AWS has to offer.

We are excited to introduce the new AWS Partner Creative and Messaging Guide, a definitive resource detailing new branding treatments including partner badges, logos, and messaging dos and don’ts which partners can refer to when creating marketing communications, campaign collateral, and event assets. We recommend AWS Partners begin using the new guide, as it replaces the APN Messaging and Branding Guide and the AWS Co-Branding Guide.

The APN Ambassador Program features a vibrant worldwide community of technical experts, known as AWS Ambassadors, from AWS Partner Network (APN) Services and Software Partners. Our Ambassadors evangelize AWS via social media and facilitate peer-to-peer learning by presenting at conferences, leading workshops, and hosting user group events. We are proud to introduce our newest AWS Ambassadors from Q3 and Q4 2021.

We are excited to launch the AWS Mainframe Modernization service, a unique platform for mainframe migration and modernization allowing customers and partners to plan, migrate, modernize, and run their on-premises mainframe workloads to a managed development and execution environment on AWS. The service enables two proven and popular patterns—replatforming and automated refactoring—and has the goal of mitigating the risks and accelerating mainframe-to-cloud projects.
