Amazon Web Services (AWS) has introduced three new AWS Partner Network (APN) competencies targeting partners in DevOps, cloud migration, and the Internet of things (IOT).

This was revealed at the ongoing AWS re:Invent Conference in Las Vegas. In addition, the company unveiled the 2016 Premier Consulting Partners, a designation that recognises APN partners that provide superior customer service and expertise in building and migrating customer solutions on AWS.

The company also revealed its AWS Marketplace has grown to more than 2 300 software listings that are pre-configured for the AWS Cloud.

"Customers are accelerating their journey to AWS as they transform their businesses, and they require a broad range of solutions and partner expertise," says Dorothy Copeland, head of global partner programmes at AWS.

"We are excited to see the growth of innovative partner solutions that leverage AWS, and are expanding our investments in the APN across training, solutions development, and go-to-market programmes.

"In the past year, we've seen that, on average, AWS Premier, Competency, and Managed Service Provider partners have grown their AWS revenue more than a 100% faster than the rest of the ecosystem.

"Our new DevOps, cloud migration, and IOT competencies will offer even more opportunities for partners to deepen their AWS capabilities and grow their businesses."
