Cloud computing company Rackspace Technology is extending its agreement with Amazon Web Services.

The expanded agreement comes after Rackspace Technology’s AWS business has grown by 250 percent over the past three years.

“AWS and Rackspace Technology have jointly launched over 1,000 cloud projects enabling clients to fundamentally change how their businesses work,” said Neil Emerson, Chief Commercial Officer at Rackspace Technology.

“This agreement continues the commitment of both companies together to provide a full stack of cloud services to assist customers with becoming cloud-first businesses to accelerate their digital transformation, innovate faster, and create value. With AWS’s renowned customer obsession and the Rackspace Fanatical Experience, we share a common culture of delivering the right outcomes for our clients.”

In addition, AWS and Rackspace Technology also have established dedicated teams across both companies to support customers with AWS-specific strategy, cloud-built development, containers, application modernisation, data, and workload management.

AWS has also recently linked up with IT infrastructure provider Kyndryl to provide solutions for Kyndryl’s enterprise customers, and the firm plans to build out their own internal infrastructure in the cloud. Other firms AWS has formed partnerships in the last week include Code-X, Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, Benu, and Salesforce.
