The move changes how your team signs in.

AWS Partner Central is available in the AWS Console. AWS guidance says partners using legacy company-email access need account linking and migration.

After migration, users access Partner Central through the linked AWS account with the appropriate IAM roles and permissions.

Review the linked account, users and workflows:

Three checks before you call the work done.

User access

Review which users need Partner Central access and the permissions they should receive.

Account choice

AWS says the linked account becomes permanent after migration. Review it before initiating the move.

Workflow continuity

Test the workflows your team depends on, rather than assuming every connector is already ready.

Your other cloud workflows need their own review.

AWS migration does not establish Azure or GCP readiness. Review each cloud workflow against its own current guidance.

For Microsoft, review the referral fields and Marketplace information that apply to your opportunity. For GCP, review the relevant partner and opportunity workflow.

Keep these reviews connected at the pipeline level, while respecting each provider's access and program rules.

App Accelerate is a separate readiness question.

Microsoft announced App Accelerate as a unified offer for incentives, benefits and co-sell support. Confirm current terms and availability directly with Microsoft.

Do not treat an AWS account migration, a transactable listing or a connected CRM as automatic App Accelerate eligibility.

Use a separate review for Microsoft Marketplace and co-sell operating requirements.

Connect the work after you verify access.

Review the AWS connection

Check the linked AWS account and the permissions your opportunity workflow uses.

Review the Microsoft workflow

Review current Microsoft referral and Marketplace guidance for the opportunity.

Keep cloud context clear

Bring AWS, Azure and GCP work together without treating one provider's status as another provider's approval.

Start with the account, access and workflow context your team needs to check.

Review plans and Starter trial

A connected tool is not a substitute for AWS migration.

Follow the AWS migration process for account linking, IAM access and initiating the move. AWS says migration typically takes 2 to 6 hours and recommends non-business hours because users cannot access Partner Central during migration.

Vela can support a connected co-sell operating workflow. Verify the integration and access in your account rather than assuming a universal setup time or no-downtime guarantee.

Review the AWS instructions and coordinate with your IAM administrator.

Quick answers

Who needs account linking?

AWS says partners using legacy company-email credentials need linking and migration. Partners registered directly in the new console without legacy access do not need linking.

Can the linked account be changed after migration?

AWS says the linked account is permanent after migration. Review the account choice before starting.

What access does the team need?

Map users to appropriate IAM policies with your IAM administrator, following the AWS migration instructions.

How long does AWS migration take?

AWS says migration typically takes 2 to 6 hours depending on data, and users cannot access Partner Central while it runs.

Where should I confirm migration instructions?

Use the current AWS migration and account-linking guidance for your account state. This guide is not a migration-status check.
