One-line summary
Find consulting, migration, architecture, security, data, AI/ML, industry, and managed-service partners with relevant AWS capabilities.
APN is a partner ecosystem, not a software catalog or an internal AWS team. Marketplace sells products; Professional Services is AWS’s own services organization. Customers still own contract, data-access, security, and acceptance boundaries.
Key takeaway
Buy products through Marketplace; find external expertise through APN.
