AWS Partner Unplugged is a podcast that speaks to all aspects of AWS' technology applications. In each episode we will select a specific topic (e.g., Large Language Models. significant use case applications, partnership best practices) and an AWS host will interact with subject matter experts to deliberate upon the important reference points within each area of discussion. We are not afraid of ideas that make us more curious and enable us to learn collectively. We look forward to robust discussions, sometimes funny ones too, with the overall goal of making us all intellectually better after than we were before!
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.
