AWS App Studio is a low-code development platform for users to build, deploy, and manage applications without extensive coding knowledge. It is designed to streamline the application development process, making it more accessible to a wider range of users, including business users, IT professionals, and startups that don’t have large specialized IT teams. This post guides you through the process of creating a user-friendly create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) application to efficiently manage birth certificate applications using AWS App Studio.

Today, generative artificial intelligence (AI) is at the core of many of the decisions and technologies businesses across the globe are implementing. The linchpin to ensuring that generative AI is effective depends on the foundation models (FMs) storing the data. To make sure that those FMs are pulling the correct data, Amazon Web Services (AWS) has developed a solution through Amazon Bedrock to generate SQL to answer user questions about the data. The solution was developed to support the Federal Institute of São Paulo (IFSP) and has optimized their decision-making.

In this post, we explore how AWS services, open source software, and bespoke source code can help address resource sharing enhancements requested by public sector customers using AWS Outposts. This solution aims to provide greater flexibility, control, and cost management for organizations leveraging Outposts in multi-account environments, specifically focusing on key AWS resources, including Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS), and Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) on Outposts.

In this post, we show how Amazon Lightsail for Research can help you successfully deploy an artificial intelligence (AI) image generation model using open source software. We walk through deploying a Lightsail for Research GPU instance using a simplified console experience. We cover how to set up cost control rules in order to prevent or manage unnecessary costs. And we show how you can open network ports on your Lightsail for Research instance to allow others to access the software you are running.

PubMed Central (PMC) is a leading resource for biomedical literature, offering a vast repository of full-text biomedical and life sciences journal articles. While PMC offers immense potential to accelerate scientific progress, inform evidence-based practice, and drive innovation in the biomedical and life sciences fields, the sheer volume of data presents a significant challenge. This is where Amazon Q Business comes in. It’s a powerful service designed to streamline the process of analyzing vast amounts of scientific literature and provide valuable insights efficiently.

Federal agencies can use Amazon Web Services (AWS) to meet Trusted Internet Connections (TIC) 3.0 requirements. To facilitate this, AWS has published detailed architectural overlays that demonstrate how to effectively implement TIC 3.0 guidelines within AWS deployments. AWS Verified Access (AVA) is a cloud-based service that enables secure access to applications without requiring the use of a virtual private network (VPN). It evaluates each application request and gives users access to each application only when they meet the specified security requirements. AVA supports TIC 3.0 requirements in the areas of configuration management, centralized log management, strong authentication features, resilience, and policy enforcement.

In this post, we provide technical guidance to help satellite operators build, deploy, and analyze satcom waveforms on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Details are provided about the orchestration of multiple waveforms, including an example of one Amazon Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) Image being swapped in for another. We analyze the FPGA utilization and metrics in Amazon CloudWatch and Amazon QuickSight, and validate network performance against system latency requirements. Finally, we recommend actions you can take to build an agile satcom strategy.

In this post, we showcase a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) application that can search and query across multiple Indian languages using the Cohere Embed – Multilingual model and Anthropic Claude 3 on Amazon Bedrock. This post focuses on Indian languages, but you can use the approach with other languages that are supported by the large language model.

A multi-account strategy is important for Amazon Web Services (AWS) public sector customers because it is the foundation of cloud governance and compliance. Public sector customers using a shared account model can improve security and operational efficiency by adopting a multi-account strategy. In this post, we explore methods for existing AWS public sector customers to prepare for and migrate to a multi-account environment.

Organizations deploying the Landing Zone Accelerator (LZA) on AWS solution, provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS), often face challenges in managing and versioning their configuration files. In this post, we explore how to use GitHub as a configuration file repository for the Landing Zone Accelerator on AWS solution, allowing better version control, collaboration, and automation in your LZA deployments.
