To address the global challenge of managing street animal populations, Humane World for Animals has developed Humane World Apps, a comprehensive global data management tool designed to improve dog and cat welfare programs by managing spay and neuter, mass vaccination, and access to care operations. With support from the AWS Imagine Grant—a public grant program that provides both cash and Amazon Web Services (AWS) credit funding to registered nonprofit organizations who are using cloud technology to accelerate their missions—Humane World Apps is transforming how large-scale animal welfare programs operate worldwide.

Founded in 1990, the International Myeloma Foundation (IMF) is the first and largest global foundation focused specifically on multiple myeloma. The IMF’s mission is to improve the quality of life of myeloma patients while working toward prevention and a cure by focusing on four key areas: research, education, support, and advocacy. In September 2024, the IMF launched Myelo—an artificial intelligence-powered virtual assistant built using AWS and Max.AI, developed by ZS Associates. This blog post highlights Myelo’s capabilities to provide myeloma patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals a trustworthy, round-the-clock source of information that is accessible from anywhere in the world, grounded in empathy, and can communicate in multiple languages.

According to the World Bank’s Identification for Development (ID4D) initiative, approximately 850 million people globally don’t have official identification. This prevents citizens from access to essential services including healthcare, education, and social benefits. To address these challenges, Atos and AWS have collaborated on an innovative cloud-based digital identity system using the Modular Open-Source Identity Platform (MOSIP), making these systems more accessible, secure, and scalable than ever before.

The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) recently announced an innovative OneGov agreement with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to provide up to $1 billion in savings for cloud adoption, modernization, and training for federal agencies. In alignment with this announcement are solutions to reduce waste and improve efficiency. To help organizations accelerate these initiatives and reduce fraud, waste, and abuse (FWA), this guide outlines practical strategies for optimizing technology spend while improving operational efficiency

Our public sector customers rely on the resilience of the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud so they can deliver on their critical missions. In the face of growing risks of cyberattacks and environmental threats, like floods or earthquakes, and physical risks, like equipment failures, public sector leaders have an increasingly complex job to do. And yet, citizens expect government services like elections or passport renewal to work as efficiently and reliably as the online commercial platforms they use.

AWS has developed a comprehensive suite of agentic AI solutions that are reshaping how healthcare organizations approach patient care, operational efficiency, and system resilience. AWS meets customers wherever they are on their agentic AI journey, offering everything from ready-to-deploy agents to tools for building sophisticated custom solutions. Unlike traditional AI that simply responds to prompts, these agentic AI solutions can reason, plan, and take autonomous actions to accomplish complex healthcare goals with minimal human oversight.

AWS partners with providers of innovative solutions such as MemVerge, an AWS Partner Network (APN) Advanced Technology Partner, whose Memory Machine Batch (MMBatch) technology complements AWS Batch by providing advanced checkpointing capabilities for EC2 Spot Instances. In this post, we look at how MemVerge’s technology can overcome the challenges of interrupted pipelines by enabling pipelines that were interrupted mid task to start from where they left off, regardless of Spot Instance reclaims. We’ll also show how MemVerge’s Batch Viewer and proven best practices empower researchers to visualize their workloads, identify bottlenecks, and apply smart strategies that make their pipelines more efficient, resilient, and cloud-optimized.
