Overview
Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides a global infrastructure and secure, scalable, and mission-focused solutions that helps the Department of National Defence meet mission, drive efficiencies, increase innovation, and secure critical workloads.
At AWS, we focus on our customers and what their mission demands, letting that define and guide our efforts. The AWS Cloud is uniquely positioned to provide scalable solutions to National Defence customers, whether through tactical edge solutions, DevSecOps, artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML), high performance computing (HPC), or other capabilities. National Defence customers can also work with our AWS Partner Network (APN) to build solutions. The APN provides an extensive community of partner companies that offer solutions in areas such as software, developer tools, and consulting expertise to help deploy and manage mission-critical workloads in the AWS Cloud.
How AWS can help your mission
Rapid and secure mission delivery and cybersecurity
Modern defence requires modern software—innovations to meet changes in the environment and that meet shifting priorities at the tactical edge, rapidly and securely. This same software needs to work reliably, even as it modernizes—and without vulnerability to cyberattack. AWS helps you get there with landing zones, infrastructure as code, and DevSecOps architectural guidance.
Bringing technology to the tactical edge
Snowball Edge is a self-contained piece of secure hardware, small enough to check in as a piece of airplane luggage. Discover how militaries can use it to stay connected in even the most extreme environments. Using Snowball Edge you can deliver multi-domain integration and information advantage to the tactical edge from unclassified to top secret levels.
Case studies
Increase military readiness with AWS IoT for Defence and National Security
In this post we discuss how AWS IoT for Defence and National Security (IoT4D) increases readiness by driving operational excellence for manufacturing and supply chains, improving sustainability for buildings and bases, improving equipment maintenance and uptime, and providing situational awareness at the tactical edge.
Achieving security and compliance with cloud
The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) promotes the security benefits that can come from cloud adoption. The UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) has also recognised this with its blog post ‘More Secure in the Public Cloud’. The following IDC paper looks at the initiatives causing agencies to accelerate their cloud adoption plans, the risks IT leaders face by delaying, and how secure, compliant cloud environments help agencies achieve compliance for their sensitive workloads.
