How the AWS Service Delivery Program Helps APN Partners Connect with Customers
AWS Service Delivery Partners have deep understanding of AWS services and experience helping customers leverage specific services such as AWS Lambda, Amazon CloudFront, and Amazon EC2 for Windows Server.
To achieve the AWS Service Delivery designation, AWS Partner Network (APN) Partners must pass a rigorous technical validation by Amazon Web Services (AWS) Solutions Architects.
Customers can be confident that in choosing an AWS Service Delivery Partner, they are working with an APN Consulting Partner that follows AWS best practices and has proven success delivering specific AWS services.
