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.

In this post, we explore a human-in-the-loop (HITL) framework in the form of architectural patterns teams can use to introduce agentic AI incrementally into eligibility workflows that are adapted to their programs, policies, and risk tolerances.

Read this post to learn about AWS Wickr, a messaging and collaboration service that protects messaging, calling, file sharing, screen sharing, and location sharing with 256-bit end-to-end encryption (E2EE). Wickr combines advanced security for sensitive communications, administrative controls for user and policy management, and data retention for auditing and regulatory needs.

In this post, we describe how ITHAKA and Amazon Web Services (AWS) collaborated to build an on-demand PDF accessibility pipeline that remediates documents when users need them, serving researchers while using nonprofit resources responsibly. For organizations managing a large document collection under accessibility compliance deadlines, this post shows there is an affordable, practical path forward that doesn’t require converting an entire library upfront.

This post describes how Floy built an FM-based AI platform on AWS, from training and inference to clinical integration, that scales to meet the demands of modern radiology.

In this post, we review how AWS Lambda works today, introduce durable functions, walk through a document processing use case for child welfare, and explain when to choose durable functions over AWS Step Functions.

In this post, we walk through how OSM partnered with Sierra-Cedar, an AWS Premier Consulting Partner, to design, build, and deploy FileVault—a secure file transfer solution powered by AWS Transfer Family and Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3)—while preserving the user experience that state employees already knew and trusted.

Amazon Web Services (AWS), through the Open Data on AWS and Amazon Sustainability Data Initiative (ASDI) programs, became a foundational collaborator from the outset, hosting Digital Earth Africa’s data on AWS infrastructure in Cape Town, South Africa, and enabling African users to access and analyze petabytes of satellite data at a speed and scale that would otherwise be out of reach.

In this post, we walk through the evidence pipeline, from Amazon Web Services (AWS) Config evaluations and AWS Security Hub findings through transformation and storage, to producing the dual-format output that satisfies FedRAMP 20x Phase 2 completeness requirements.
