Here are the dozens of channel partners who won AWS Partner of the Year awards this year, unveiled today at AWS re:Invent 2024.

From channel partner titans like Accenture and Deloitte to top innovators such as Caylent and AllCloud, AWS handed out its annual Partner of the Year Awards to dozens of partners at AWS re:Invent 2024.

“We have over 130,000 partners in the AWS Partner Network,” said Ruba Borno, vice president and leader of AWS’ Worldwide Channels and Alliances in an interview with CRN. “It’s great to see that the nominations and competitive landscape are getting better and better. Also, the number of innovations and success stories are increasing, which is all just great for customers.”

The AWS partner award winners were unveiled at the Partner Awards Gala at AWS re:Invent in Las Vegas on Monday. These awards honor AWS partners whose business models embrace innovation, specialization and cooperation in 2024, Borno said.

For the third straight year, AWS Partner Awards included a self-nomination process with all partners invited to submit nominations with awards selected by a third partner with an emphasis placed on customer success use cases. A panel of AWS experts ultimately selected the winners and finalists for each category.

“The awards are performance based, but also nomination based on innovation use cases. We had over 1,250 nominations this year,” she said. “If you compare that to a few years ago, where it was less than 500—this is a huge jump.” CRN breaks down the AWS partner award winners for 2024 that every channel partner should know about.
