Cloud Computing for U.S. Defense
Securely enabling defense and national security missions with cloud computing
Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability (JWCC) is the newest way AWS serves our DoD customers
Read more about JWCC and gain access to AWS expertise and Amazon Web Services from wherever your mission takes you.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides a global infrastructure and secure, scalable, and mission-focused solutions that helps the DoD meet mission, drive efficiencies, increase innovation, and secure critical workloads.
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 DoD customers, whether through tactical edge solutions, DevSecOps, artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML), high performance computing (HPC), or other capabilities. DoD customers can also work with our AWS Partner Network (APN) to build solutions. The APN provides an extensive community of partner companies that offer solutions in areas such as software, developer tools, and consulting expertise to help deploy and manage mission-critical workloads in the AWS Cloud.
How AWS can help your mission
Rapid and secure mission delivery and cybersecurity
To outpace our adversaries, warfighters need modern software—innovations to meet changes in the environment and that meet shifting battlefield priorities, 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.

Evolve Command and Control with the cloud
As the U.S. Military moves to embrace Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2), AWS is uniquely positioned to deliver reliable cloud capability.
We’re supporting mission success for the DoD across the Mission Partner Environment—the framework enabling command and control across the full range of military operations.
AWS is supporting each service’s JADC2 initiative, including recently participating in testing edge computing capabilities for the Air Force’s Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS).

Towards Overmatch: How AWS Cloud Drives Navy Software Development
Speed is everything in national defense. The armed services need a quick way to surface new capabilities, particularly in software development. In the past, siloed processes slowed deployment of new applications, taking months — or even years — to bring new capabilities to the field and potentially putting warfighters at a disadvantage.
