Learn how ASI, in collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS), is transforming how the aviation industry manages uncertainty, optimizes operations, and reliably maintains safety at scale.

In this blog, we will discuss how federal contractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) for the General Services Administration (GSA) face a critical reality when the updated security requirements are required to maintain your contracts. The stakes extend beyond business; inadequate CUI protection compromises sensitive government operations and US national interests. The recently updated GSA IT Security Procedural Guide CIO-IT Security-21-112 Revision 1 (January 2026) aligns with NIST SP 800-171 Revision 3 and sets the bar for protecting CUI in nonfederal systems. Learn how Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides security services specifically designed to help you address these requirements efficiently.

AWS GovCloud (US) is an innovative cloud solution that includes a pair of AWS Regions providing a cloud computing environment designed specifically for government agencies, contractors, and organizations that handle sensitive, International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR)-controlled data and require US citizenship or entity status. AWS GovCloud (US) regions exist as a separate partition from […]

Within a decade of moving to the cloud, Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, was managing 260 accounts—160 of them on Amazon Web Services (AWS)—at an annual spend of $4 million. As part of what they called a “cloudification initiative,” there had been a major push in the early days to capitalize on opportunities to […]

In a previous post on the Public Sector Blog, we covered six key strategies in which Amazon Web Services (AWS) empowers AWS Partners to expand their platforms globally to reach more customers while meeting requirements such as data residency and sovereignty. These ranged from using AWS Global Infrastructure to AWS services that make it easier for […]

This blog post provides a comprehensive overview of the custom large language model (LLM) development lifecycle for public sector use, emphasizing scientific methodology and measurable outcomes.

The Coupon Bureau (TCB) is modernizing how coupons work in the US with the first universal digital coupon standard: AI (8112). To make this possible, TCB needed to build a system that could support billions of coupon transactions in real time, integrate seamlessly with hundreds of providers and retailers, and deliver mission-critical reliability. By using AWS services, TCB designed a cloud-based architecture that processes high-volume events, delivers real-time webhook notifications, provides data recovery during outages, and scales seamlessly as adoption grows.

AWS partners with providers of innovative solutions such as MemVerge, an AWS Partner Network (APN) Advanced Technology Partner, whose Memory Machine Batch (MMBatch) technology complements AWS Batch by providing advanced checkpointing capabilities for EC2 Spot Instances. In this post, we look at how MemVerge’s technology can overcome the challenges of interrupted pipelines by enabling pipelines that were interrupted mid task to start from where they left off, regardless of Spot Instance reclaims. We’ll also show how MemVerge’s Batch Viewer and proven best practices empower researchers to visualize their workloads, identify bottlenecks, and apply smart strategies that make their pipelines more efficient, resilient, and cloud-optimized.

In this post, we provide step-by-step guidance for deploying Malcolm—an open source network traffic analysis suite—natively on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), using the on-demand compute, elasticity, and scalability of AWS to eliminate traditional infrastructure overhead. This approach is particularly beneficial for cost-conscious public sector (federal, state, and local), utility, and industrial customers who require network and security monitoring to deliver on their missions.
