AWS Glue provides both visual and code-based interfaces to make data integration easier. Customers can now quickly locate a Partner with validated expertise in AWS Glue.

AWS is enabling scalable, flexible, and cost-effective solutions from startups to global enterprises. To support the seamless integration and deployment of these solutions, AWS established the AWS Service Delivery Program to help customers identify APN Consulting Partners with deep experience in delivering specific AWS services.
