The University of Maryland Libraries serves 41,000 students across six physical libraries on its College Park campus. Like many academic institutions, the libraries relied on aging on-premises infrastructure to support their digital services and operations. When the libraries’ IT team faced deteriorating hardware, rising licensing costs, and personnel constraints that threatened operations, they made a strategic decision: retire their data center entirely and transform their infrastructure with AWS.

Public safety is at a crossroads. A rising wave of cyber attacks on mission-critical public safety systems has spurred agencies across the country to modernize their infrastructure. This journey involves adopting new technology, but it’s also about building trust, resilience, and agility into the heart of 911 operations. Recent milestones by Carbyne—culminating in renewed AWS Government Competency status—showcase how a next-generation approach can help agencies stay ahead.

Today’s military forces face unprecedented challenges in managing battlefield information. A new solution—developed through a collaboration between Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Lockheed Martin—demonstrates how cloud technology can revolutionize military communications.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Wiz are excited to share that Wiz for Government has achieved a FedRAMP High authorization. This milestone reinforces Wiz’s commitment to working with AWS and helping U.S. public sector organizations and partners securely manage their environments from code to cloud to runtime.

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.

The AI revolution has entered an exhilarating new phase, and AWS is empowering partners to lead this transformation. Today, we’re excited to announce the launch of our new agentic AI module within the AWS Partner Transformation Program (PTP), designed to accelerate partners’ capabilities in building autonomous AI solutions. This strategic initiative comes at a crucial time, as number of enterprise applications incorporating agentic AI continues to surge, presenting unprecedented opportunities for innovation in the public sector and beyond.

The City of Atlanta worked with AWS and AWS Partners to modernize its contact center using Amazon Connect. By moving away from a patchwork on-premises system and toward a unified, cloud-based platform, the city improved its service delivery, increased scalability, and built a more resilient foundation.

Open data is reshaping how we understand and respond to global challenges. From climate change to disaster recovery, the ability to access and analyze large-scale geospatial datasets is critical for scientific research, policy-making, and real-world applications. Leading the charge are several open data initiatives designed to lower access barriers and accelerate innovation: Open Data on AWS, the Amazon Sustainability Data Initiative (ASDI), and the Maxar Open Data Program on AWS. Together, these programs demonstrate the power of cloud-enabled open data to democratize access to geospatial information, promote global collaboration, and drive real-world impact. In this post, we demonstrate how to explore and visualize these datasets using interactive web applications and Jupyter notebooks.

Kansas State University (K-State)—In collaboration with AWS and AWS Partner, ROK Technologies—is developing Geocat: a scalable, cloud-native ArcGIS Enterprise platform. Designed to serve students, faculty, and extension professionals, Geocat is advancing K-State’s land-grant mission by making cutting-edge geospatial infrastructure accessible across the university and beyond.
