Layer 1 blockchain Avalanche has announced that they have partnered with cloud giant Amazon Web Services to bring scalable blockchain solutions to businesses and governments worldwide.

AWS now supports Avalanche’s dApp ecosystem and infrastructure

According to an update from Avalanche, Amazon Web Services now fully supports the blockchain infrastructure and decentralized application ecosystem. This includes one-click node deployment through AWS Marketplace, and AWS GovCloud for FedRAMP compliance use, which is a requirement for enterprises and governments.

Thanks to the partnership, developers will be able to use AWS to deploy scalable, fault-tolerant and compliant offerings while effectively reducing compliance costs.

It has been a great boon for both individual and enterprise developers to be able to spin up nodes and test networks on the fly with AWS in whatever legal jurisdiction makes the most sense for them.”

The partnership also makes Ava Labs a member of the AWS Partner Network (APN), which paves the way for customers to deploy custom offerings on AWS. Ava Labs has indicated that it may add subnet deployment as a managed service to the AWS Marketplace to help both companies launch custom subnets. This will include a feature to distribute validators that secure the subnet across different regions and availability zones to improve robustness.

As for the developers, the partnership will provide more flexibility, in addition to the added strength of the network. AWS and Ava Labs also collaborate on events for developers and entrepreneurs to make building on Avalanche easier.

Avalanche’s native token $AVAX has gained more than 15% since the news broke. The token is currently trading at $14.22. Traders have been trying to buy the token, resulting in a 16% increase in trading volume in the last three hours.
