California Credit Union successfully used AWS to enhance its disaster recovery and backup capabilities for its core banking system, Fiserv DNA. This post explores how the credit union overcame challenges, improved its resilience, and set the stage for future innovations in financial services.

In this post, we discuss a solution that uses AWS services to improve government communication accessibility and meet federal accessibility requirements. The serverless architecture automates document-to-speech conversion and delivers information to citizens with visual disabilities.

Public entities must make sure that their digital content is accessible for people with disabilities. PDF documents can present challenging accessibility issues. In this post, we discuss an innovative, open source, and AI-driven solution to automate the remediation of these PDFs and bring them into compliance with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 standards.

The US Department of Defense (DoD) increasingly relies on commercial efforts to adopt and integrate novel and emerging technologies that are critical for mission success. The modern defense landscape evolves rapidly, and industry collaboration is a key component of success. AWS has risen to the challenge to fulfill this commercial- and collaborative-focused approach to advancing military innovation. Most recently, AWS did so through its participation in the Technology Readiness Experimentation (T-REX) series of events with partner General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT),

In this post, we describe how AWS Partner CIMAR’s medical image management platform is enabling the rapid roll-out, scaling, and operation of the National Health Service (NHS) England’s national lung cancer program, connecting 124 acute NHS trusts and multiple mobile scanning units.

The Metropolitan Police Department of Washington DC (DC-MPD) is one of the ten largest police agencies in the United States, serving as the primary law enforcement entity for the District of Columbia. Embracing cutting-edge technology provided by AWS, DC-MPD has integrated evidence analysis techniques with state-of-the-art information technology to advance crime-mapping, real-time crime statistics dashboards, and summary statistics for a holistic view of crime dynamics.

Personalized therapy for diseases such as cancer utilizes an individual’s unique genomic profile to guide treatment decisions. However, the effect and clinical significance of most genetic variants are uncertain. Accurate classification of the clinical significance of novel genetic variants requires extensive curation of peer-reviewed biomedical literature. In recent years, generative AI has demonstrated promising results in information extraction and text summarization. In this post, we explore how various AWS-native solutions can be used to create a secure, retrieval-augmented, and cost-effective biomedical chatbot designed to facilitate biocuration.

Fair Trade USA™ is a nonprofit organization that is committed to eliminating poverty by promoting sustainable development through ethical trade. They work to ensure fair compensation, safe working conditions for farmers and workers, and sustainable farming practices. In this post, you’ll learn how Fair Trade USA leverages Amazon Web Services (AWS) to improve working conditions for farmers and producers around the world.

In this post, we explore how AWS enables the automation of deploying a DPI-based solution stack. We highlight Sunbird RC (Registry and Credentials) as a real-world digital public goods (DPG) building block. The following example provides an overview and execution of the packaging available in the Sunbird community GitHub repository for provisioning required AWS services and deploying Sunbird RC services.

In recent years, public sector organizations have found success running their scientific data processing workloads on Amazon Web Services. As the number of workloads increase with the massive data volume and complex scientific simulations, organizations are looking for ways to optimize cost while maintaining research momentum. Amazon EC2 Spot Instances presents a compelling option to run unused Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) capacity with an up to 90 percent discount compared to On-Demand prices. However, the intermittent nature of Spot Instances often requires careful consideration, especially when handling time-sensitive mission-critical workloads. In this post, we discuss how organizations can effectively identify opportunities to use Spot Instances and Amazon Q Business to develop an enhanced Spot Instance analysis.
