Accelerate business and mission outcomes with AWS Government Regions (WPS315)
Foundations for Innovation
Security and Operational Excellence
AWS prioritizes security as the most important aspect of their service for federal and public sector customers.
They take a comprehensive approach to security, securing everything from the edge routers to the kernel level.
Operational excellence is also critical, with AWS making small, incremental, and reversible changes frequently to maintain a stable infrastructure.
This shared responsibility model with customers allows them to trust that their data will be safe.
Tools like AWS Resilience Hub, chaos testing, and the Well-Architected framework help customers achieve operational excellence for their workloads.
Sustainability and Cost Savings
AWS is committed to sustainability, with two of their four domestic regions already carbon neutral and a path to achieve carbon neutrality globally.
They also aim to be wastewater positive and focus on broader sustainability measures, like energy consumption.
Customers can inherit these sustainability investments made by AWS.
Additionally, AWS continues to reduce the price of their services to make them more affordable for customers.
AWS Public Sector Offerings
Compliance Regions
AWS has built purpose-built regions to meet the unique compliance requirements of the public sector, including FedRAMP, CMMC, ITAR, and DoD impact levels.
These regions, like GovCloud, provide a separate partition from the commercial regions to host high-value, sensitive workloads.
AWS has completed the transition to the NIST 800-53 revision 5 baseline for both their commercial and GovCloud regions.
Compute Solutions
AWS recognizes the importance of region-based computing, as well as the growing interest in non-region-based technologies like Outposts and the Snow family of products.
They are investing heavily in accelerated compute solutions, including GPUs, to address the scaling needs of public sector customers.
Generative AI and Quantum Computing are also areas of focus for AWS, as they work to bring viable solutions to the market that can benefit public sector missions.
Advice and Partnerships
AWS encourages customers to treat their sales representatives as partners, not vendors, to better understand their mission and business objectives.
They emphasize the importance of starting small with generative AI and AI/ML initiatives, focusing on data management, and growing the capabilities over time.
Customers are encouraged to reach out to AWS executives and leadership to directly engage on their mission and concerns.
Overall, AWS emphasizes the importance of strong partnerships with their customers to accelerate mission outcomes and benefit citizens.
