The Digital Workplace program at AWS identifies APN Partners and AWS solutions that can help you build a digital workplace. All the partners and AWS solutions that we showcase have passed a Technical Baseline Review with AWS, and some of our APN Partners have also created AWS Quick Starts. These accelerators that reduce hundreds of manual procedures into just a few steps, so you can build your production environment quickly and start using it immediately.

We are excited to highlight 42 APN Partners that received new designations in January for our global AWS Competency, AWS Managed Service Provider (MSP), and AWS Service Delivery programs. These designations span workload, solution, and industry, and help AWS customers identify top APN Partners that can deliver on core business objectives. APN Partners are focused on your success, helping customers take full advantage of the business benefits AWS has to offer.

To receive the AWS Competency designation, which showcases top APN Partners to customers, organizations must undergo rigorous technical validation. To help APN Technology Partners understand this process and our validation requirements, we are releasing new versions of the AWS Competency Validation Checklists (VCL). These checklists outline the customer case study and technical criteria needed for APN Technology Partners to achieve the AWS Competency designation.

Take a look at the most popular APN Blog posts in 2019. Our goal with this blog is to share timely and relevant news, technical solutions, partner success stories, and more from Amazon Web Services and the AWS Partner Network (APN) specifically. The APN is the global partner program for AWS and helps tens of thousands of organizations across the world build, market, and sell their AWS-based offerings. Thank you for reading, and Happy New Year!

AWS has added a new feature to Amazon VPC called traffic mirroring, which is like a virtual network tap that gives you direct access to the network packets flowing through your virtual private cloud. Nubeva Technologies built a solution that directly integrates with Amazon VPC traffic mirroring to provide an out-of-band decryption solution, giving customers a surgical approach to capture and analyze network traffic on AWS.

Businesses need a network that can empower the data center to move workloads to the cloud. In most data centers, the diverse and disjointed visibility, as well as troubleshooting capabilities with no correlation across different environments, results in complex operational models. Cisco Cloud Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) automates the management of end-to-end connectivity as well as the enforcement of consistent security policies for applications running in on-premises data centers and on AWS.

AWS Direct Connect Service Delivery Partners are exclusively authorized to provision the new AWS Direct Connect Hosted Connections capacities greater than 500 Mbps. These top APN Partners have undergone service-specific validation of their technical capabilities and are approved to provide higher capacity Hosted Connections. They must also enable monitoring of the network link between the partner and AWS.

To receive the AWS Competency designation, APN Partners must undergo rigorous technical validation related to industry-specific technology, as well as an assessment of the security, performance, and reliability of their AWS solutions. This validation gives customers complete confidence in choosing APN Partners to team up with. To help APN Technology Partners better understand this process and our validation requirements, we are releasing new versions of the AWS Competency Validation Checklists.
