Today @awscloud #ChoseAvalance as it's first foundational blockchain partner!

What does this mean, and how is more than just a headline? Let's take a look 👇

1. AWS Marketplace
The first aspect of this partnership is “1-click” Avalanche validators in the AWS Marketplace. Developers, Enterprises, and Governments can now launch Avalanche validators nodes in “one-click” deployments directly from the AWS marketplace.

Why is this important?

This allows enterprises to build highly scalable, resilient and compliant blockchains in environments they are already familiar with.

2. Amazon Partner Network (APN)
APN is a network of over 100,000 systems integrators and ISVs who all work together to build products and services on AWS.

Through APN @avalabsofficial can support enterprises, institutions, gaming teams, and governments with their Avalanche subnet deployments and it gives Avalanche a seat at the table with tier-1 consultants

3. AWS Activate

AWS Activate has helped startups such as AirBnb, Uber and Netflix get to market, and now Ava Labs and AWS intend to support the next generation of Unicorns to grow.

@BlizzardFund can now support portco's with $100k in AWS credits. Avalanche builders regardless of Blizzard involvement can receive $5k in credits.

4. Hackathons and Events
AWS and Avalanche are also partnering on joint hackathons and IRL events. The first of which will be at the Avalanche Summit in Barcelona May 3-5th. With more events to come in the summer, stay tuned!

"When you multiply Activate times Avalanche times Subnet, you have something that’s a seminal moment.... the perfect time, perfect opportunity and we humbly think we’ll look back years in time and see this as a significant time for blockchain expansion.”

As @cryptorecruitr put it best "read below the headlines." That is something we often fail to do. He eloquently stated "this is a big day for all of crypto" and we agree. This is a big win for Avalanche and great news for the broader crypto legitimacy as a whole.

"Avalanche nodes can now also run in the AWS GovCloud for government-related data storage. This means that government organizations that must adhere to stricter data control regulations would still be able to adopt Avalanche technology for public sector projects."

It's about #subnets, it always has been.

Any developer, enterprise, institution, or government can have their own custom environment. This is how blockchains proliferate and, with Avalanche Warp Messaging, have interoperability.
