Amazon Web Services (AWS), through the Open Data on AWS and Amazon Sustainability Data Initiative (ASDI) programs, became a foundational collaborator from the outset, hosting Digital Earth Africa’s data on AWS infrastructure in Cape Town, South Africa, and enabling African users to access and analyze petabytes of satellite data at a speed and scale that would otherwise be out of reach.

This post introduces the Geospatial Power Pack, a Kiro power package that turns Kiro into a unified, AI-assisted geospatial workspace. Kiro is an agentic development environment created by Amazon Web Services (AWS). It helps developers and teams turn prompts into executable specs, validate code correctness to find bugs that unit tests miss, and build across large codebases with parallel agents that learn from every session.

In this blog, learn how NASA’s Earth Science Data and Information System (ESDIS) is migrating over 170 petabytes of Earth science data to AWS to provide equitable access to researchers worldwide, eliminating the “data fortress” problem while achieving significant cost efficiencies through intelligent tiering, serverless architecture, and economies of scale. The post also details how NASA made over 6,000 Earth Science collections visible in the Registry of Open Data on AWS, enabling seamless discovery and analysis for the broader AWS user community.

In this post, we discuss how to use datasets in the Registry of Open Data on AWS with Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases. With Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases, you can give foundation models (FMs) and agents contextual information from private and public data sources to deliver more relevant, accurate, and customized responses.

Many government agencies, like the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), participate in the AWS Open Data Sponsorship Program. In this post, we discuss how to use NOAA datasets in the Registry of Open Data on AWS using Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases.

The potential of open data to transform governance and public services is immense, but realizing this potential requires overcoming common obstacles. In this post, we will explore best practices and solutions for Canadian public sector organizations seeking to use the cloud for open data, specifically examining how Amazon Web Services (AWS) can enable open data success.

The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Open Data Sponsorship Program makes high-value, cloud-optimized datasets publicly available on AWS. Through this program, customers are making more than 100 petabytes (PB) of high-value, cloud-optimized data available for public use. This past quarter, AWS released 21 new or updated datasets. What will you build with these datasets?
