AWS Launches Resilience Software Competency to help customers build highly available applications

Today, AWS announced the expansion of its AWS Resilience Competency program to include Technology Partners, helping customers identify and implement software solutions that enhance the availability and resilience of their critical cloud workloads. This new offering addresses the growing demand for "always on, always available" applications and services.

The AWS Resilience Software Competency validates partner solutions across three essential categories: Design (high availability solutions including proxy and load balancing), Recovery (disaster recovery and data replication), and Operate (continuous resilience through observability and chaos engineering). All participating partners undergo rigorous technical validation by AWS experts to ensure they meet strict performance and operational requirements.

As Werner Vogels, CTO of Amazon, explains: "Everything fails, all the time. With validated and curated solutions from AWS Resilience Partners, customers can achieve in AWS, with a fraction of the cost, a higher system availability they could ever experience if still running critical workloads on-premises." This program follows AWS's shared responsibility model, where AWS manages cloud infrastructure resilience while providing customers with trusted tools and partners to ensure workload resilience.
