AWS GameDay League is made up of teams from global partner companies who compete against each other in hands-on technical challenges to build new cloud skills capabilities. “GameDay League is a top benefit. It allows us to promote our AWS expertise to customers, and it’s a learning environment we need to retain the best and brightest cloud talent.” Corey Brunisholz Principal Cloud Solution Architect, Presidio. Once your company achieves an AWS Service Ready, Service Delivery, Competency, or MSP Program designation, our League scouts will email League tournament invitations to your alliance lead and technical staff. Fans can subscribe to the AWS GameDay Twitch channel, and follow AWS GameDay Twitter.
AWS GameDay Quests Developer Kit (QDK) allows partners to integrate their products into interactive scenarios using AWS to be leveraged as repeatable, lead-generating events with customers. This unique sales tool overcomes traditional barriers like subscription trials and building test scenarios in sandbox accounts. "One of the best ways to learn a new technology is by using it. With GameDays, we have been able to provide safe and interactive experiences for learning DevSecOps in the cloud," said Ilan Rabinovitch, SVP Product and Community at Datadog. "Participants leave these events with practical knowledge and a clear understanding of our better together story with AWS."
