Editor's Notes
AWS serves hundreds of thousands of customers in more than 190 countries.
Amazon CloudFront and Amazon Route 53 services are offered at AWS Edge Locations
You might have questions about security in the cloud, but our biggest and most conservative customers have found that we’re able to meet their security requirements, and often we can provide a better security profile than what they can deliver internally. Our focus and investment in security, and the fact that we incorporate requirements from our most security conscious customers which then benefit all of the customers on our platform allows us to offer an effective approach to meeting enterprise security requirements. We encourage you to dig deeper with our security white paper, and would be happy to help you get the information you need to feel confident in our security capabilities and options.
Here are some of our partner benefits, with the ones listed in white that we provide to all APN partners, with the ones in blue reserved for partners as they grow their businesses on AWS and move up the tiers
