What Does It Mean to Be an AWS Well-Architected Partner
AWS established the AWS Well-Architected Partner Program to help customers identify APN Consulting Partners with deep expertise in optimizing workloads and mitigating risks in their workloads. Achieving the AWS Well-Architected Partner status differentiates RBN as an AWS Partner Network (APN) member that provides specialized demonstrated technical proficiency and proven customer success in identifying if customer workloads meet the five pillars of the Well-Architected Framework: Operational Excellence, Security, Reliability, Performance Efficiency, and Cost Optimization.

AWS Well-Architected Partners have the skills and expertise to identify critical customer workloads and remediate any issues in a customer’s AWS environment. To receive the designation, APN Partners must possess deep AWS expertise and deliver solutions seamlessly on AWS.
