We had a chance to sit down with Principal Engineer, Bob Stolzberg, who spoke about all things Ecosystem. One of Bob's main functions within the CenturyLink Cloud organizations is to work with other third party companies and vendors better known as 'partners' to integrate their technology with the platform at CenturyLink Cloud via automation to ultimately bring those technologies into the Marketplace. Companies like Microsoft, Dynatrace, and Vormetric are prime examples of partners that have integrated and certified their technologies with the platform at CenturyLink Cloud. Check out the Ecosystem Program Partner Resource Guide (https://www.ctl.io/knowledge-base/ecosystem-partners/partner-integration-resources/ecosystem-program-resources/) to learn more about technical integration via third party technology with CenturyLink Cloud takes place by leveraging one of our automation methods (templates, bluprints, APIs, and add-ons). For companies seeking to integrate their products and services with CenturyLink Cloud, check out the or the CenturyLink Marketplace Provider Program Guide (https://www.ctl.io/knowledge-base/ecosystem-partners/partner-integration-resources/centurylink-cloud-ecosystem-program-guide/), which outlines the process expectations for information on any requisite certification requirements and qualifying considerations.
