This post covers the two prerequisites needed (a desktop assistant and an AI IDE), how they connect through a straightforward file bridge, why this pattern is a good fit for public sector constraints, and what to keep in mind when it comes to cost.

This post provides a decision framework and technical guidance to help database administrators and architects navigate the transition facing Amazon Web Services (AWS) customers who run workloads on Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) Custom for Oracle.

The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Open Data Sponsorship Program has hosted the Common Crawl open repository of web data at no cost since January 2012. It has become one of the most important sources of training data for the large language models (LLMs) reshaping industries. This is the story of a 14-year collaboration between a small nonprofit and AWS, and how open data infrastructure became the foundation of the AI era.

This post shows how to build that on Amazon Web Services (AWS) using Amazon Bedrock, deployed in AWS GovCloud (US). You’ll deploy a working multi-agent workload, see how a supervisor coordinates specialized agents through the Converse API in Amazon Bedrock, and learn which AWS GovCloud (US) details break patterns copied from commercial Regions.

Learn how Forseti, a public safety technology company, built the Honest Assessment Response Tool (HART) to meet survivors in that moment.
