Learn how Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers a fundamentally different approach. By deploying agentic AI—specialized AI agents that work collaboratively to analyze, validate, and route documentation—federal agencies can dramatically accelerate conformity processing while maintaining or improving quality and compliance standards.

The Translational AI Center (TrAC) at Iowa State University is a pre-competitive research hub that bridges the gap between academic AI breakthroughs and real-world deployment. With over 70 affiliated faculty spanning seven ISU colleges, TrAC breaks down disciplinary silos and organizes research across thematic areas, including food and energy systems, healthcare, autonomy, materials design, and AI ethics.

The United States General Services Administration (GSA) Pegasys Financial Management program plays a vital role in managing the agency’s financial operations, processing hundreds of billions of dollars in transactions annually for GSA and 40 partner agencies, boards, and commissions. When GSA needed to modernize the infrastructure supporting this mission-critical system, the agency faced a significant challenge. It needed to migrate 30 terabytes of production data, over 100 virtual machines, and 70 external system interfaces to the cloud—all within 6 months while maintaining uninterrupted availability.

In this post, we discuss how AWS and Wiz support security and resilience for AMCs to help keep the focus more on patient care while maintaining a robust, secure operating environment.

As organisations modernise to meet the evolving expectations of the Australian Government, delivering secure, cloud-based services has become a commercial and operational necessity. This transformation brings a critical challenge: maintaining a hardened security posture while aligning to the Information Security Registered Assessors Program (IRAP) assessment requirements and priorities.

The cost dimensions of agentic workloads on Amazon Web Services (AWS) are invisible to many organizations beginning their agentic journey. It’s straightforward to track tokens consumed because this dimension translates directly to your bill. But most organizations can’t determine the cost per request or the cost to answer a single user question. Without understanding the cost to answer a single user question, organizations are blind to cost issues. In this post, I talk about how to gain visibility into your agentic costs, and I identify three things you can do to better control your costs.

Catching a compliance violation in production is expensive. Catching it in a pull request is nearly free. In this post, we demonstrate how to build a multi-tool infrastructure as code (IaC) validation pipeline that checks AWS CloudFormation templates and Terraform configurations against Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) 20x Key Security Indicators (KSIs) before deployment. Combined with the preventive controls from Preventive controls for FedRAMP 20x: Using SCPs and guardrails to enforce KSIs and the methods to be described in future blog posts, this creates a full-lifecycle compliance architecture.

Learn how CBP has selected Amazon PreDepart as a trade solutions candidate under the Commercial Solutions Opening Pilot (CSOP) program. As part of this selection, CBP also approved Amazon Customs and Trade (ACT) as a Qualified Party, an entity authorized to collect and remit customs duties on behalf of shippers – for international mail shipments to the United States.

In this post, we explore how Peraton created a solution for centralized cloud financial management solution on AWS and how Amazon Quick can accelerate insights for large government entities.

Learn how Amazon Web Services (AWS) has announced the Intelligence Community Accelerated Modernization Framework (ICAMF)[OB2.1], a landmark program committing up to $1 billion in available credits to accelerate cloud migration and modernization across the U.S. Intelligence Community. ICAMF provides outcome-based credits through October 2030, giving Intelligence Community agencies a compelling, long-term incentive to accelerate their cloud journey.
