AWS and Ava Labs to bring scalable blockchain solutions
AWS and Ava Labs have joined together in a partnership to accelerate the adoption of blockchain across enterprises, institutions and governments. Ava Labs’ blog post highlighted that AWS will not only support Avalanche’s technological infrastructure and ecosystem of decentralized applications (DApps), but also facilitate access for those who want to run nodes on the Avalanche blockchain.

Avalanche is a fast smart contract platform that allows Web3 developers to quickly create scalable solutions due to its cutting-edge consensus protocol and cutting-edge subnet. Users can use a unique virtual machine or deploy to the Ethereum Virtual Machine. They can build whatever they want in their own way on the eco-friendly blockchain made especially for Web3 developers.
“At AWS, we’re all about bringing the most cutting-edge technology to builders, whether they’re in a multi-million-dollar enterprise, a government office, or a dorm room. The new capabilities Avalanche brings enable us to do just that, » so Howard Wright, VP and Global Head of Startups, at AWS. “We are thrilled to add an innovator like Ava Labs to our partner network and to support new tools for Avalanche’s infrastructure and ecosystem, helping to expand adoption into new geographies and customer segments.”
What developers can expect from the AWS-Avalanche partnership
The partnership between Ava Labs and AWS will allow customers to use Ava’s blockchain solutions with AWS’s global infrastructure and security. This is a big step for Ava Labs in their goal to make blockchain technology more mainstream and accessible to more organizations. Ava Labs also joins AWS Activate, which gives developers in the Avalanche ecosystem access to AWS credits.
Ava Labs will add its subnet deployment to the AWS marketplace as a managed service, allowing individuals and institutions to easily launch their own custom subnets. This functionality is designed to include a feature that will distribute validators that secure the subnet across different regions and availability zones to improve robustness. Subnets are part of Avalanche’s scaling solution that directs traffic away from the main blockchain. Projects can stake the native token, AVAX, while creating their own layer-1 or layer-2 blockchains.
Ava Labs and AWS are also working together on events for entrepreneurs and developers. These events will help people build on Avalanche, even if they are not technical experts. Some of the events include the Avalanche Summit, Avalanche Creates and hackathons. The purpose of these events is to give web3 developers and researchers the opportunity to learn from industry experts and work with other people to make their startups and products more successful.
The partnership also shows that there is great interest in decentralized solutions from large companies and governments, which may encourage other organizations to explore the use of blockchain technology.
