Introduction

The Foundational Technical Review ('FTR') assesses an AWS Partner's solution against a specific set of AWS best practices around security, performance, and operational processes that are most critical for customer success. Passing the FTR is required to qualify AWS Software Partners for APN programs such as AWS Competency and AWS Service Ready, but any AWS Partner who offers a technology solution is eligible to request an FTR review through Partner Central.

This checklist is applicable to the Machine Learning and Data products listed on AWS Marketplace.

Expectations of Parties

AWS Partners must review this document in detail before submitting an AWS Foundational Technical Review request. If items in this document are unclear, AWS Partners should contact their Partner Development Representative (PDR) or Partner Development Manager (PDM). AWS reserves the right to make changes to this document at any time.

The FTR request must be submitted on the APN Partner Central. For more information on how to submit a request, please see the "Request an FTR" section on this page. If you need more information, please contact your PDR or PDM.

For the details on FTR process please see the FTR guide. If you need more information, please contact your PDR or PDM.

After submitting a request, an AWS Partner Solutions Architect will review your request and reach out to you, if any additional information or a phone call is required.

The PSA approves an FTR if the solution meets all FTR requirements. If the solution has unfulfilled requirements, the partner can remediate all unfulfilled requirements to complete the FTR. If the FTR is not completed within six months, the Partner must submit a new FTR request and meet all the FTR requirements effective at that time which may include additional controls.
