This post introduces the Geospatial Power Pack, a Kiro power package that turns Kiro into a unified, AI-assisted geospatial workspace. Kiro is an agentic development environment created by Amazon Web Services (AWS). It helps developers and teams turn prompts into executable specs, validate code correctness to find bugs that unit tests miss, and build across large codebases with parallel agents that learn from every session.

The Amazon Web Servies (AWS) Open Data Sponsorship Program makes high-value, cloud-optimized datasets freely available for analysis, helping researchers and developers worldwide access critical data without cost barriers.

In this blog, learn how NASA’s Earth Science Data and Information System (ESDIS) is migrating over 170 petabytes of Earth science data to AWS to provide equitable access to researchers worldwide, eliminating the “data fortress” problem while achieving significant cost efficiencies through intelligent tiering, serverless architecture, and economies of scale. The post also details how NASA made over 6,000 Earth Science collections visible in the Registry of Open Data on AWS, enabling seamless discovery and analysis for the broader AWS user community.

In this blog post, learn how the Registry of Open Data on Amazon Web Services (AWS) has surpassed a major milestone: 1,122 datasets are now freely available to anyone.

The AWS Open Data Sponsorship Program makes high-value, cloud-optimized datasets publicly available on Amazon Web Services (AWS). AWS works with data providers to democratize access to data by making it available to the public for analysis on AWS; develop new cloud-based techniques, formats, and tools that lower the cost of working with data; and encourage the development of communities that benefit from access to shared datasets. Through the AWS Open Data Sponsorship Program, customers are making over 300 PB of high-value, cloud-optimized data available for public use.

Although traditional weather forecasting methods have served us well, they often require substantial computational resources and time to deliver results. In this post, we explore how Brightband is revolutionizing this field by combining AI with Open Data on AWS to create faster, more accessible, and highly accurate weather forecasting solutions. When data is shared on AWS, anyone can analyze it and build services on top of it. Sharing data in the cloud lets data users such as Brightband spend more time on data analysis rather than data acquisition.

Open data is reshaping how we understand and respond to global challenges. From climate change to disaster recovery, the ability to access and analyze large-scale geospatial datasets is critical for scientific research, policy-making, and real-world applications. Leading the charge are several open data initiatives designed to lower access barriers and accelerate innovation: Open Data on AWS, the Amazon Sustainability Data Initiative (ASDI), and the Maxar Open Data Program on AWS. Together, these programs demonstrate the power of cloud-enabled open data to democratize access to geospatial information, promote global collaboration, and drive real-world impact. In this post, we demonstrate how to explore and visualize these datasets using interactive web applications and Jupyter notebooks.

In this post, we discuss how to use datasets in the Registry of Open Data on AWS with Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases. With Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases, you can give foundation models (FMs) and agents contextual information from private and public data sources to deliver more relevant, accurate, and customized responses.

Through the AWS Open Data Sponsorship Program, customers are making over 300 PB of high-value, cloud-optimized data available for public use. All publicly available datasets can be found in the Registry of Open Data on AWS and are now also discoverable on Exchange. This quarter, AWS released 66 new or updated datasets.
