In this blog post, we demonstrate how public sector organizations can overcome the challenges that emerge when integrating Amazon Redshift and other AWS relational databases with Amazon Bedrock. You’ll learn how to utilize enterprise data to generate AI-powered analytical insights by using natural language queries through Amazon Bedrock Agents and Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases. This custom solution enables seamless connectivity between your structured data sources and generative AI applications, eliminating the need for data duplication and significantly reducing development effort.

Whether you’re a technical architect, systems integrator, or government technology leader, this post provides the technical insights needed to understand and implement MOSIP (Modular Open-Source Identity Platform) on AWS effectively.

In a groundbreaking demonstration, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) and General Atomics Integrated Intelligence, Inc. (GA-Intelligence) showcased the power of cloud computing in advancing autonomous air capabilities. By leveraging Amazon Web Services (AWS), General Atomics (GA) successfully integrated cutting-edge technologies to demonstrate unmanned air-to-air engagement. The demonstration—which took place on July 8, 2025—marks a significant milestone in the evolution of autonomous military systems and highlights the critical role of cloud computing in modern defense operations.

Federal agencies are at a pivotal juncture in their technological evolution. Legacy systems, some dating back to the 1960s and 1970s, continue to power essential government services while facing a challenge: the retirement of the workforce that understands and maintains them. Rebecca Wetherly, director of worldwide public sector global system integrator partners at AWS recently sat down with Denise Zheng, chief AI officer at Accenture Federal Services (AFS), to discuss how artificial intelligence (AI) and modernization can help agencies navigate this transition while improving service delivery to citizens.
