New AWS SaaS Policy: How to Submit Your Architecture Diagram in Partner Central

AWS has rolled out a new SaaS policy update requiring all SaaS sellers to submit an architecture diagram and select a hosting pattern in the AWS Marketplace Management Portal (AMMP) within the new Partner Central as part of the product validation process.

What’s Changing?

• SaaS listings not hosted on AWS are now allowed in the Marketplace.

• However, only products fully hosted on AWS will qualify for Private Pricing Addendum (PPA) commitment retirement.

• To be validated and earn the “Deployed on AWS” badge in the Marketplace, your product must have architecture details submitted through AMMP.

How to Submit Your Architecture Diagram

Once your listing is in a Limited or Public state, follow these steps:

1. Log in to the AWS console using the AWS account where your product listing is hosted, and navigate to Partner Central.
