A collaboration between the UK’s Bedfordshire Police and AWS resulted in rapid deployment of high-impact, cloud-based solutions that free up officer and staff time and resources. This has helped officers to better serve communities and victims. Based on cloud technology, the model is easily replicable by other law-enforcement organizations.

In this post, we walk through a step-by-step guide to building your own Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) solution on AWS, complete with open-source instructions and best practices. Learn how to harness the same technological foundations that power enterprise-grade proposal automation while maintaining security, compliance, and content quality.

Many organizations validate their generative AI–based workloads on their emotional reaction to a foundation model’s output instead of real testing criteria. In this post, we show you how you can move away from vibe testing and effectively evaluate your Amazon Bedrock workloads for production.

When Department of the Air Force (DAF) software factories scale their cloud operations across mission-critical environments, maintaining consistent resource tagging becomes crucial for security, compliance, and operational effectiveness. For organizations like Kessel Run, a unit that provides capabilities within the DAF Battle Network, ensuring compliance while maintaining rapid deployment capabilities is essential for delivering capabilities to warfighters. In this post, we discuss a solution that enabled Kessel Run to enforce tagging standards at resource creation while supporting their complex deployment patterns.

In this post, we will explore AWS IoT services in the context of NIST Special Publication 800-183: Networks of ‘Things’. NIST 800-183 presents a model for expressing IoT deployments and establishes concerns about the trustworthiness of the Internet of Things, which AWS IoT services can help public sector organizations address. We will delve into key areas such as authentication, monitoring, and secure communication.

To support education leaders on their AI journey, we’ve developed a practical guide that maps real-world challenges to proven AI use cases. While not exhaustive, these examples serve as inspiration—highlighting what others have achieved and helping you explore how AI can address your institution’s priorities
