CMMC compliance will soon be a must-have for federal contractors, so they need to plan now for how to achieve it. The path towards compliance differs according to the level needed and the assessments involved. Fortunately, there is no shortage of resources available to help—including from Amazon Web Services (AWS) and its partners.

The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Modular Data Center (MDC) is a service that enables rapid deployment of AWS managed data centers for running location- or latency-sensitive applications in locations with limited infrastructure. It reduces deployment time in remote areas and supports up to five racks of AWS Outposts or AWS Snow Family devices. In this post, we guide you through the end-to-end process of deploying the MDC at your site.

How can technology leaders rapidly deliver responsible artificial intelligence-based innovation while aligning with the broad spectrum of strict regulatory requirements? The answer is simple: Amazon Web Services (AWS) GovCloud (US) provides the technology that underpins a solid foundation for securely and compliantly building and deploying AI capabilities.

In this post, we show you how you can push or pull your security telemetry data to the National Cybersecurity Protection System (NCPS) Cloud Log Aggregation Warehouse (CLAW) using Amazon Web Services (AWS) Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) or third-party solutions.

Government agencies are increasingly using large language models (LLMs) powered by generative artificial intelligence (AI) to extract valuable insights from their data in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) GovCloud (US) Regions. In this guide, we walk you through the process of adapting LLMs to specific domains with parameter efficient fine-tuning techniques made accessible through Amazon SageMaker integrations with Hugging Face.

Amazon SageMaker is a fully managed machine learning (ML) service that provides various capabilities, including Jupyter Notebook instances. While RStudio, a popular integrated development environment (IDE) for R, is available as a managed service in Amazon Web Services (AWS) commercial Regions, it’s currently not offered in AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. Read this post, however, to learn how you can use SageMaker notebook instances with the R kernel to perform data analytics tasks in AWS GovCloud (US) Regions.

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.

AWS GovCloud (US) was architected to have isolation (both physically and logically) from other AWS partitions for compliance. For this reason, AWS services, used to privately interconnect virtual private cloud (VPC) hosted resources within the same partition like AWS PrivateLink, Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) peering, or AWS Transit Gateway peering, cannot span from AWS GovCloud (US) to commercial Regions natively by design. In this post, we will highlight four connectivity patterns customers can use to interconnect VPC hosted systems cross partition.
