Support national security with secure data and application services
At AWS, we focus on our customers and what their mission demands, letting that define and guide our efforts. The AWS Cloud is uniquely positioned to provide scalable solutions to National Defence customers, whether through tactical edge solutions, DevSecOps, artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML), high performance computing (HPC), or other capabilities. National Defence customers can also work with our AWS Partner Network (APN) to build solutions.

How AWS can help your mission
Rapid and secure mission delivery and cybersecurity
Modern defence requires modern software—innovations to meet changes in the environment and that meet shifting priorities at the tactical edge, rapidly and securely. This same software needs to work reliably, even as it modernizes—and without vulnerability to cyberattack. AWS helps you get there with landing zones, infrastructure as code, and DevSecOps architectural guidance.
