In the rapidly evolving landscape of cloud computing, the distinction between a service provider and a strategic partner is defined by expertise, proven success, and a relentless commitment to innovation. For enterprises navigating the complexities of digital transformation, selecting the right partner is critical.

This month, we are proud to announce a pivotal moment in our company’s trajectory: Renova Cloud has officially achieved AWS Premier Tier status in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Partner Network (APN). This prestigious designation is not merely a badge of honor; it is a validation of our deep technical bench, our long-term investment in the AWS ecosystem, and our consistent success in helping customers architect, build, and manage complex workloads on AWS.

As we celebrate this achievement, we explore what this status means for our clients, the rigorous journey to the top of the APN, and how Renova Cloud is leveraging this expertise to drive the next wave of cloud modernization and Generative AI in Southeast Asia.

What Does Premier Tier Status Mean?

The AWS Partner Network is a global community of partners that leverage programs, expertise, and resources to build, market, and sell customer offerings. Within this network, the AWS Premier Tier represents the highest level of partnership.

Achieving this status is no small feat. It requires companies to complete a rigorous approval process that scrutinizes every aspect of their technical and business operations. To earn the Premier Tier, an AWS Partner must demonstrate:

  • Proven Expertise: A history of successful deployments and customer satisfaction.
  • Deep Technical Certifications: A strong team of AWS Trained & Certified technical consultants with mastery over project management and professional services.
  • Long-Term Investment: A sustained commitment to the relationship with AWS and the ability to deploy customer solutions at scale.

For our clients, working with a Premier Tier partner means engaging with a team that has been vetted by AWS for having the capabilities to manage large-scale, complex migrations and modernizations. As highlighted by the official designation, this status showcases Renova Cloud as a partner who has demonstrated consistent success in helping customers design, architect, and migrate their most critical workloads.

 

A Testament to Ambition and Technical Excellence

Founded in 2017, Renova Cloud has rapidly grown into a leading strategic cloud consulting firm in Southeast Asia. Our journey from a local startup to a Premier Tier partner is a testament to our team’s dedication and technical agility.

Doron Shachar, CEO and Founder of Renova Cloud, emphasizes the strategic importance of this milestone:

“Renova Cloud is proud to achieve Premier Tier status in the AWS Partner Network. This is a major milestone for us as a company and a testament to our ambition and passion for growth in this market.” 

Shachar notes that completing this rigorous process is proof of the team’s dedication to helping companies achieve their technology goals by leveraging the agility, breadth of services, and pace of innovation that AWS provides.

 

Leading with Competency: DevOps and Migration

Reaching the Premier Tier is not just about general cloud knowledge; it requires specialized designations that prove depth in specific technical areas. Renova Cloud continues to lead the region by securing critical AWS Competencies.

We were the first local partner in Vietnam to achieve the AWS DevOps Competency. This designation highlights our deep expertise in automating delivery pipelines, infrastructure as code, and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) workflows. In an era where speed-to-market is a competitive differentiator, our ability to streamline development lifecycles is a key asset for our clients.

In addition to DevOps, we hold the AWS Migration Competency. This validates our capability to execute complex, large-scale cloud migrations. Whether lifting and shifting legacy applications or refactoring them for cloud-native performance, our team possesses the validated skills to ensure a secure and efficient transition to the cloud.

 

Pushing the Boundaries: Generative AI and “Smarty”

While our foundation is built on solid infrastructure and migration capabilities, our eyes are set firmly on the future. The cloud is no longer just about storage and compute; it is the engine for Artificial Intelligence.

Renova Cloud has positioned itself as a critical facilitator of digital transformation, specifically in the Agentic and Generative AI space. We believe that modernizing retail investment experiences and other industry verticals requires cutting-edge AWS technology.

A prime example of this innovation is our recent collaboration with ACBS (ACB Securities). In this project, Renova Cloud implemented “Smarty,” an AI-powered investment assistant. By leveraging Generative AI, we enabled a major financial institution to modernize its customer experience, providing intelligent, data-driven interactions. This project not only demonstrates our technical capability but also highlights the tangible business value of integrating AI into enterprise workflows.

 

Strategic Vision: It is Always Day 1

Achieving AWS Premier Tier status is a significant validation of our past work, but at Renova Cloud, we adhere to the Amazonian philosophy that “It is always Day 1”. We view this milestone not as a finish line, but as a launchpad for future innovations within the Vietnamese market and beyond.

Samira Kabbour, CMO of Renova Cloud, outlines our forward-looking strategy:

“We will continue to expand our presence in Vietnam with a clear focus on cloud modernization, data, security, and AI integration. It is always Day 1 for us as well, and we look forward to maintaining this momentum.” 

Our mission remains clear: to accelerate Cloud & AI adoption across Vietnam and Cambodia. We are dedicated to empowering enterprises to embrace digital transformation, improve operational workflows, and enhance customer experiences through a comprehensive suite of services spanning managed services, application modernization, data analytics, and security.
