Digital engineering fundamentally relies on integrating data across model structures by using a digital thread – an underlying framework for integrating data from across traditionally siloed functions that create a consolidated view of the system’s data throughout its lifecycle. The cloud is integral to digital engineering by supporting collaboration across geographically dispersed organizations, automating workflows for data connectivity and trade space analysis in a reliable, scalable, and cost-effective manner. This post describes how Amazon Web Services (AWS) Partner General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT) has used digital engineering in combination with secure and scalable AWS services, to deliver secure IT systems to a large defense program.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) customers, technology leaders, and government agency CIOs continually balance risk and reward to accomplish many things by using AWS GovCloud (US). They work to transform citizen experiences, save taxpayers money, support sustainable growth, expand market presence, modernize legacy systems, increase security, drive efficiencies, strengthen brand equity, and reduce environmental impact.

The public sector’s use of Internet of Things (IoT) devices is steadily growing, as these organizations learn how to implement and derive value from IoT solutions. Public sector agencies and organizations deploy IoT devices in a variety of areas, such as transportation and infrastructure, crime prevention, education, and utilities and environment. In this post, we are going to use the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency ‘s (CISA) guidelines as a reference to improve the security of your IoT devices and learn how to address vulnerabilities using Amazon Web Services (AWS) IoT services.

Healthcare organizations invest heavily in technology and data. Generative artificial intelligence (AI) empowers healthcare organizations to leverage their investments in robust data foundations, improve patient experience through innovative interactive technologies, boost productivity to help address workforce challenges, and drive new insights to accelerate research. This post highlights three examples of how generative AI on Amazon Web Services (AWS) is being used in healthcare and discusses ways to leverage this technology in a responsible, safe way.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) works with higher education institutions, research labs, and researchers around the world to offer cost-effective, scalable, and secure compute, storage, and database capabilities to accelerate time to science. In our work with research leaders and stakeholders, users often ask us about best practices for leveraging cloud for research. In this post, we dive into five common questions we field from research leaders as they build the academic research innovation centers of the future.

The UK Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is one of the largest government departments in the UK, with more than 90,000 employees in more than 800 locations. It’s responsible for making $266 billion in payments each year. The DWP is carrying out a large-scale digital transformation to improve its services and the way it interacts with citizens. Read this blog post to discover three lessons that DWP learned about hiring, training, and retaining while reshaping its digital approach.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is helping K12 school leaders understand how to leverage generative artificial intelligence (AI) in the most practical and responsible ways. Together with the Council of the Great City Schools and the Consortium for School Networking, we created the K-12 Readiness Checklist and the newly released K12 Generative AI Maturity Readiness Assessment. Read this post to learn about these fundamental tools that can help guide school districts as they implement generative AI.

Recognizing the value that public sector and education buyers can realize through the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Marketplace, an increasing number of education technology (EdTech) and workforce development companies are listing their products there. In this post, we feature some of our top education and workforce sellers and highlight how listing on AWS Marketplace has positively impacted their business growth and goals.

Cloud computing represents a transformational leap forward. But despite this advancement, many organizations still procure resources using methods suited for on-premises data centers, not cloud solutions. To fully harness the cloud’s potential, organizations should shift their mindset and adopt procurement processes that let them successfully evaluate options and choose the best solution. Read this blog post to learn more.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is excited to announce the release of a public-sector focused eBook on generative artificial intelligence (AI). Titled Get started with generative AI on AWS: A guide for public sector organizations, the new resource aims to help public sector leaders explore opportunities and best practices for adopting the technology responsibly.
