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.

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.

In this post, we explain what IL5 requires, how AWS GovCloud (US) and SAP NS2 meet those requirements together, and how defense organizations can get started.

to meet this demand.
The Kayode Alabi Leadership and Career Initiative (KLCI Africa), a nonprofit social enterprise headquartered in Lagos, Nigeria, set out to solve this problem using generative AI and Amazon Web Services (AWS). In this post, we describe how KLCI Africa built Rafiki AI, a WhatsApp-based generative AI career advisor that delivers personalized career guidance to underserved and displaced youth in under 2 minutes.

In this post, you can learn what distinguishes this reanalyzed dataset from prior 1000 Genomes Project call sets, how to access the data, and how to explore it using both bioinformatics tools and a natural-language query interface built on Amazon Bedrock.

In this post, we discuss how AWS and Wiz support security and resilience for AMCs to help keep the focus more on patient care while maintaining a robust, secure operating environment.

Catching a compliance violation in production is expensive. Catching it in a pull request is nearly free. In this post, we demonstrate how to build a multi-tool infrastructure as code (IaC) validation pipeline that checks AWS CloudFormation templates and Terraform configurations against Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) 20x Key Security Indicators (KSIs) before deployment. Combined with the preventive controls from Preventive controls for FedRAMP 20x: Using SCPs and guardrails to enforce KSIs and the methods to be described in future blog posts, this creates a full-lifecycle compliance architecture.

Real missions break perfect prototypes. Through Project MAVERICK (Mission Autonomy Versatile Rapid Innovation and Capabilities Kit), Amazon Web Services (AWS) confronts this reality head-on—bringing cloud capabilities directly into the field to test autonomous systems where it matters most.

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.
