Ten years ago we launched AWS Partner Network (APN) in beta form for our partners and our customers. In his post for the beta launch, my then-colleague Jinesh Varia noted that: Partners are an integral part of the AWS ecosystem as they enable customers and help them scale their business globally. Some of our greatest wins, particularly with enterprises, have been influenced by our Partners. A decade later, as our customers work toward digital transformation, their needs are becoming more complex. As part of their transformation they are looking for innovation, differentiating solutions, and routinely ask us to refer them to partners with the right skills and the specialized capabilities that will help them to make the best of use…

Last year I told you about Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP and showed you how you can create a file system in minutes with just a couple of clicks. You can use these high-performance, scalable (up to 176 PiB) file systems to migrate your on-premises applications to the cloud and to build new, cloud-native applications. As I noted in my original post, your file systems can have up to 192 TiB of fast, SSD-based primary storage, and many pebibytes of cost-optimized capacity pool storage. Your file systems also support many of ONTAP’s unique features including multi-protocol (NFS, SMB, and iSCSI) access, built-in deduplication & compression, cloning, and replication. We launched Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP with a Multi-AZ deployment type…

In 2018 I wrote about AWS Firewall Manager (Central Management for Your Web Application Portfolio) and showed you how you could host multiple applications, perhaps spanning multiple AWS accounts and regions, while maintaining centralized control over your organization’s security settings and profile. In the same way that Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) supports multiple database engines, Firewall Manager supports multiple types of firewalls: AWS Web Application Firewall, AWS Shield Advanced, VPC security groups, AWS Network Firewall, and Amazon Route 53 DNS Resolver DNS Firewall. Cloud NGFW for AWS Today we are introducing support for Palo Alto Networks Cloud NGFW in Firewall Manager. You can now use Firewall Manager to centrally provision & manage your Cloud next-generation firewall resources (also called…

We launched Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) sixteen years ago today! As I often told my audiences in the early days, I wanted them to think big thoughts and dream big dreams! Looking back, I think it is safe to say that the launch of S3 empowered them to do just that, and initiated a wave of innovation that continues to this day. Bigger, Busier, and more Cost-Effective Our customers count on Amazon S3 to provide them with reliable and highly durable object storage that scales to meet their needs, while growing more and more cost-effective over time. We’ve met those needs and many others; here are some new metrics that prove my point: Object Storage – Amazon S3…
