How AWS can help your mission

Drive innovation, security, and mission success

  • Adopting cloud computing is a critical part of ensuring our nation maintains its technological advantage. AWS Cloud provides secure and scalable solutions that drive mission success.
  • We designed the AWS cloud to be the most secure cloud computing environment available. AWS is the first commercial cloud provider to launch a region dedicated to U.S. government workloads that require some of the highest protections.
  • We work hard to adopt a builder’s mindset. From refining our existing products and services to pioneering state-of-the-art developments in AI and ML, AWS helps the U.S. government protect and support the nation.

The new Region adds multiple Availability Zones geographically separated from AWS Top Secret-East. With two Top Secret Regions, customers in the U.S. defense, intelligence, and national security communities can deploy multi-Region architectures to achieve the highest levels of resiliency and availability essential to their most critical national security missions.
