The ISV Partner Path aims to provide AWS Partners with resources designed to help accelerate business growth, such as access to curated programmes, prescriptive guidance, and direct AWS support. Also aimed at software vendors, the AWS SaaS Boost is an open source, ready to use reference environment which partners can use to rapidly migrate applications over to a SaaS delivery model on AWS. AWS also unveiled four new additions to its AWS Competency Program: Travel and Hospitality, Energy, Mainframe Migration, and Public Safety and Disaster Response. The Program includes categories in solution areas such as machine learning (ML), Internet of Things (IoT), DevOps, and Big Data, and was previously only available in Education, Financial Services, Government, and Retail industry verticals.
