In this episode of AWS Partners Unplugged, we explore four innovative collaborations between AWS and its partners showcased in recent APN blogs. We highlight how Dynatrace provides comprehensive observability for generative AI applications built on Amazon Bedrock, ensuring reliable and compliant AI operations with features like guardrail analysis and audit trails. We then examine how AWS and Intel are making large language models more accessible and cost-effective through model distillation and CPU optimizations. We also discuss MongoDB Atlas's impressive 14x improvement in search indexing performance by leveraging Amazon S3 for index snapshots, and conclude with an exploration of an AI assistant for Splunk that transforms natural language queries into efficient search queries using Amazon Bedrock agents. Throughout the episode, we emphasize how these technical innovations deliver tangible business value by addressing real-world challenges for partners and their customers.

In this episode of AWS Partners Unplugged, we discuss AWS region expansions with Liora and Nehika, two leads from the AWS Specialist and Partner Organization. They explore how AWS partners grow by expanding into new AWS regions, with AWS providing significant support through the Region Custom Funding program. The discussion covers key aspects of regional expansion including technical readiness, compliance requirements, go-to-market strategies, and co-branding opportunities. They highlight upcoming AWS region launches in Taiwan, New Zealand, Germany (European Sovereign Cloud), Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and Chile over the next two years, and explain how partners can leverage AWS to support infrastructure deployment, compliance readiness, marketing, and sales incentives when expanding into these new regions.

In today's always-on world, customers expect applications to be continuously available. Resilience is the ability of an application to resist or quickly recover from disruptions, which is a shared responsibility between AWS and its ISV partners. While AWS is responsible for the underlying cloud infrastructure, partners are responsible for the resilience of their applications built on AWS. In this podcast we discuss AWS Resilience Lifecycle Framework and how it applies to ISV and Consulting Partners.
