Run SAP workloads at DoD Impact Level 5 with SAP NS2 on AWS GovCloud (US)
In this post, we explain what IL5 requires, how AWS GovCloud (US) and SAP NS2 meet those requirements together, and how defense organizations can get started.
Empowering underserved youth with AI career support: KLCI’s journey on AWS
to meet this demand.
The Kayode Alabi Leadership and Career Initiative (KLCI Africa), a nonprofit social enterprise headquartered in Lagos, Nigeria, set out to solve this problem using generative AI and Amazon Web Services (AWS). In this post, we describe how KLCI Africa built Rafiki AI, a WhatsApp-based generative AI career advisor that delivers personalized career guidance to underserved and displaced youth in under 2 minutes.
The 1000 Genomes Project, reanalyzed: A new analytical baseline for human genomics
In this post, you can learn what distinguishes this reanalyzed dataset from prior 1000 Genomes Project call sets, how to access the data, and how to explore it using both bioinformatics tools and a natural-language query interface built on Amazon Bedrock.
AWS and Wiz accelerate resilience for academic medical centers
In this post, we discuss how AWS and Wiz support security and resilience for AMCs to help keep the focus more on patient care while maintaining a robust, secure operating environment.
Validating infrastructure as code against FedRAMP 20x: Shift-left compliance
Catching a compliance violation in production is expensive. Catching it in a pull request is nearly free. In this post, we demonstrate how to build a multi-tool infrastructure as code (IaC) validation pipeline that checks AWS CloudFormation templates and Terraform configurations against Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) 20x Key Security Indicators (KSIs) before deployment. Combined with the preventive controls from Preventive controls for FedRAMP 20x: Using SCPs and guardrails to enforce KSIs and the methods to be described in future blog posts, this creates a full-lifecycle compliance architecture.
Accelerating autonomous system innovation with Project MAVERICK field testing
Real missions break perfect prototypes. Through Project MAVERICK (Mission Autonomy Versatile Rapid Innovation and Capabilities Kit), Amazon Web Services (AWS) confronts this reality head-on—bringing cloud capabilities directly into the field to test autonomous systems where it matters most.
Providing equitable access to NASA’s Earth science data archive
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.
How healthcare organizations are advancing innovation while meeting digital sovereignty requirements with AWS
Healthcare is entering a new era. Advances in AI, data analytics, and cloud computing are creating opportunities ranging from accelerating drug discovery and enabling precision medicine to helping clinicians detect disease earlier and spend more time with patients. As healthcare organizations embrace these technologies, they face an equally important responsibility: safeguarding some of the world’s […]
An incident response playbook for satellite operations on AWS (Part-1): Detection and forensic readiness
In this post, the first in a two-part series, we focus on the detection and forensic readiness side of satellite IR. This post walks through instrumenting your ground segment with Amazon Web Services (AWS) security services and AWS Ground Station so that threats surface before they cause damage, and forensic data is already flowing when an incident occurs.
An incident response playbook for satellite operations on AWS (Part-2): Automated response and recovery
This blog covers what to do when those detections fire. Satellite incident response (IR) must account for constraints that ground-based systems never face: containment actions that wait for the next orbital pass, decisions that trade mission continuity against security, and recovery procedures where the compromised endpoint cannot be physically accessed. It walks through containment, eradication, recovery, automated runbooks, and tabletop exercises designed for satellite operations teams.
