Blackbird achieves AWS Technology Partner status

Blackbird Complete the Foundation Technical Review (FTR) to accelerate engagement with Amazon Web Services.

The AWS FTR enables AWS Partners to identify and remediate risks in their products or solutions. The FTR is led by an AWS Partner Solutions Architect (PSA) who reviews AWS Partner products and solutions against a specific set of requirements based on security, reliability, and operational excellence, as defined by the AWS Well-Architected Framework.

Following FTR guidelines, Blackbird can review projects against FTR requirements to select best practices to follow, ensuring the best possible customer experience.
