In this post, we explore how AWS enables the automation of deploying a DPI-based solution stack. We highlight Sunbird RC (Registry and Credentials) as a real-world digital public goods (DPG) building block. The following example provides an overview and execution of the packaging available in the Sunbird community GitHub repository for provisioning required AWS services and deploying Sunbird RC services.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is pleased to announce that AWS Marketplace has received “Awardable” status in the Department of Defense (DoD) Platform One (P1) Solutions Marketplace. This designation enables DoD organizations to readily access and procure solutions through AWS Marketplace using established acquisition pathways.

As the primary agency of the US government responsible for biomedical and public health research, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is one of the leading medical research centers in the world. The NIH Office of Portfolio Analysis (OPA) is tasked with helping NIH prioritize its research. OPA wanted to find a better way to optimize its cloud costs as its analytical research demands continued to grow. That need led OPA to work with AWS Partner Govplace, a systems integrator and solution provider for the public sector. Read this post to learn more about how OPA reduced research costs and scaled on demand.

Across NATO’s 32 member states, today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape requires continuous modernization of advanced technology solutions, underscoring the strategic importance of the alliance’s digital transformation. This modernization effort demands speed, scale, security, and global innovation capabilities to stay ahead. Collaborating with technology leaders like Amazon Web Services (AWS) can accelerate innovation and NATO’s ability to deliver mission-ready solutions to counter known and emerging threats.

National security and defense depend upon close collaboration between international allies. To protect sensitive data and promote robust cybersecurity frameworks, organizations must consider one another’s compliance requirements. One such requirement is the United States International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), which restricts and controls the export of defense and military-related technologies in order to safeguard US national security. Here, we set out how an innovation called Trusted Secure Enclaves (TSE) on Amazon Web Services (AWS) allows non-US national organizations who want to use the most modern and innovative technology to deliver defense and security missions using the cloud can do this and be compliant.

Zero trust in the US public sector has become critical, especially as cyber threats targeting government agencies grow more complex and sophisticated. In line with the federal mandate for zero trust architecture (ZTA) outlined in Executive Order M-22-09, government agencies are required to adopt a comprehensive security framework that continuously verifies trust for every access request. In this post, we demonstrate how Cisco Umbrella for Government, built on Amazon Web Services (AWS), plays a key role in ZTA by providing multi-layered security and granular visibility across on premises and AWS.

In an earlier post, Build secure and scalable data platforms for the European Health Data Space (EHDS) with AWS, we discussed a reference architecture for building secure and scalable data platforms for secondary usage of health data in alignment with the European Health Data Space (EHDS) using Amazon Web Services (AWS). This follow-up post walks you through the technical implementation details for building such federated data governance and analysis platforms using AWS. Whether you are a healthcare organization, technology provider, or systems integrator, this post aims to equip you with the technical knowledge to build a secure data platform for secondary usage of health data in alignment with the EHDS Regulation.

Government agencies handle vast volumes of bureaucratic documents daily, ranging from tax forms to medical records. This document-heavy workflow, often reliant on manual processing, can result in delays, errors, and increased operational inefficiencies, causing frustration among both employees and stakeholders. This post explores how intelligent document processing (IDP) solutions from Amazon Web Services (AWS) can modernize bureaucratic workflows, improve efficiency, and enhance service delivery within government agencies.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) today announced the launch of its first AWS UK Cyber Education Grant Program, a £5 million initiative aimed at strengthening the cybersecurity capabilities of educational institutions across the United Kingdom. Read this post to learn more about the program.
