While Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS)-compliant workloads can run in standard US AWS Regions, some Justice and Public Safety (JPS) agencies may choose AWS GovCloud (US) for their sensitive workloads. These organizations can securely access cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) models from AWS Standard US Regions through FIPS-validated endpoints ensuring that all data is securely encrypted with FIPS 140-3 encryption as required by CJIS. This access can maintain CJIS compliance through secure cross-partition connectivity.

For US government contractors and subcontractors, navigating the path to Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is no small task. The stakes are high, and the requirements are complex. With the Department of Defense (DoD)—also known as the Department of War—phasing CMMC into new and existing contracts, the pressure to get it right keeps growing. That’s why organizations are increasingly looking for efficient, scalable ways to examine their environments to prepare for CMMC assessments without overburdening teams or budgets.

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.

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.

In this post, we walk through three solutions that allow AWS GovCloud (US) workloads to securely connect into the Amazon Web Services (AWS) commercial partition to perform inference with Amazon Bedrock. Each approach comes with different trade-offs, and by the end you’ll have a clear view of which path might be right for your organization.
