Blue Origin is transforming space exploration with a mission to make space access routine, reliable, and cost-effective. In January 2025, the company achieved a historic milestone with its first orbital spaceflight—the New Glenn 1 (NG-1) rocket launch—powered by AWS GovCoud (US) and generative AI.

As governments worldwide seek to modernize their services, secure and scalable digital identity systems are becoming essential infrastructure. Through a combination of AWS Outposts, digital identity solutions like Modular Open Source Identity Platform (MOSIP), and innovative architectures that couple cloud capabilities with data residency requirements, governments can build digital identity systems that are reliable, resilient, and ready for the future.

In this post, we explore how Amazon Q Business is transforming government organizations through secure, AI-powered assistance across various use cases—from public records management to workforce development. Its robust security features, compliance standards, and data privacy controls make it an ideal solution for government entities undergoing digital transformation.

In modern cloud environments, organizations need efficient ways to manage and deploy multiple microservices while maintaining individual service autonomy and deployment flexibility. This is particularly important for complex solutions like child support systems that require both reliability and agility in their deployment processes. Voyatek offers an open-source, cloud-based child support solution that leverages a microservices architecture powered by AWS. Read this post to learn more.

In this post, we provide step-by-step guidance for deploying Malcolm—an open source network traffic analysis suite—natively on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), using the on-demand compute, elasticity, and scalability of AWS to eliminate traditional infrastructure overhead. This approach is particularly beneficial for cost-conscious public sector (federal, state, and local), utility, and industrial customers who require network and security monitoring to deliver on their missions.

In this post, we explore how Service NSW used AWS services to optimize its backup strategies while maintaining strict compliance requirements. By moving from a straightforward turnkey solution to a sophisticated, tiered approach, Service NSW achieved significant cost savings while enhancing its disaster recovery capabilities. The organization’s innovative use of automation for backup testing sets a new standard for efficient backup validation in large-scale database environments.

What if paper forms could be processed at the same speed as digital forms? What if their contents could be automatically entered in the same database as the digital forms? Medicaid agencies could analyze data in near real-time and drive actionable insights on a single dashboard. Whether a provider submits claims electronically or on paper, the claim could be adjudicated using the same process and analyzed the same way, saving both time and money. AI and ML services from AWS allow Medicaid agencies to create this streamlined solution. Moreover, AWS enables the adoption of solutions like this by providing no code or low code serverless services. Read this post to learn more

We’re excited to announce a significant milestone in our commitment to securing your cloud environments with a new Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) authorization at the Moderate impact level for Tenable Cloud Security—hosted on AWS GovCloud (US). This achievement extends from the existing FedRAMP authorized service of Tenable Government Solutions (also known as Tenable One). Both authorizations underscores Tenable’s dedication to providing best-in-class cloud security for even the most demanding cloud environments.

Federal agencies use AWS and the AWS Partner Network to deliver complex systems efficiently and effectively. Digital engineering (DE) has emerged as a game-changing approach to addressing these challenges. We recently sat down with Christopher G. Finlay, VP of engineering at the Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) Innovation Factory, to discuss how digital engineering is transforming the federal space and accelerating mission success.

The eighth annual AWS Imagine conference for education, state, and local government leaders kicked off in Chicago today. Taking place in the Windy City for the first time, attendees will partake in a day-and-a-half of programming that explores how education and government customers can innovate on behalf of those they serve. Kim Majerus, AWS Vice President of Global Education and US State and Local Government, delivered the keynote address, which focused on how AWS is helping reframe, retrain, and reenergize public sector organizations.
