Amazon (AWS) Partners With Avalanche

Meanwhile, Avalanche’s new partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS) has been credited for AVAX’s recent price rally. AWS recently tapped Avalanche to help boost blockchain adoption across various enterprises and institutions.

According to the announcement, the partnership aims to make it easier for individuals and organizations to launch and manage nodes on Avalanche, Ava Labs’ layer-1 blockchain. It will also focus on providing more strength and flexibility for developers using the network.

AWS will now support Avalanche’s infrastructure and decentralized application (dApp) ecosystem through its marketplace. Howard Wright, VP and Global Head of Startups at AWS noted that the partnership will increase blockchain adoption.

“Looking forward, web3 and blockchain is inevitable. No one can call the time or date or quarter that it’s going to happen and it’ll be mainstream, but we’ve seen the cycles of growth before. The velocity of this one seems like it’s accelerating and we’re just excited to be a part of this.”

Howard Wright said.

Furthermore, as a result of the partnership Ava Labs is also now a member of the AWS Partner Network (APN). The network enables the firm to help customers deploy custom offerings on AWS that are connected to more than 100,000 partners across more than 150 countries.
