Anduril unleashes the power of RAG with enterprise search chatbot Alfred on AWS
Anduril Industries, a defense technology company, has launched Alfred, an internal enterprise search chatbot powered by cutting-edge Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architecture. By using HAQM Web Services (AWS) services, such as HAQM SageMaker, HAQM Kendra, and HAQM DynamoDB, on the secure AWS GovCloud (US) Regions, Anduril has built a robust and scalable data infrastructure that can support Alfred’s growing knowledge needs.
How to transfer data to the CISA Comprehensive Log Aggregation Warehouse (CLAW) using HAQM S3
In this post, we show you how you can push or pull your security telemetry data to the National Cybersecurity Protection System (NCPS) Comprehensive Log Aggregation Warehouse (CLAW) using HAQM Web Services (AWS) Simple Storage Service (HAQM S3) or third-party solutions.
Fine-tuning an LLM using QLoRA in AWS GovCloud (US)
Government agencies are increasingly using large language models (LLMs) powered by generative artificial intelligence (AI) to extract valuable insights from their data in the HAQM 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 HAQM SageMaker integrations with Hugging Face.
Use HAQM SageMaker to perform data analytics in AWS GovCloud (US) Regions
HAQM 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 HAQM 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.
Resiliency imperatives for CIOs with sensitive and highly-available cloud environments in AWS GovCloud (US)
HAQM 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.
Connectivity patterns between AWS GovCloud (US) and AWS commercial partition
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, HAQM Virtual Private Cloud (HAQM 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.
The U.S. Air Force improves aircraft readiness with AI and predictive maintenance solutions
The US Air Force (USAF) is responsible for more than 5,400 aircraft with an average age of 28 years. Read this blog post to learn how USAF employs predictive maintenance solutions, powered by HAQM Web Services (AWS), to predict when aircraft need to be grounded for repairs or updates, which helps maintain mission readiness while lowering maintenance costs.
AWS Partners help public sector organizations harness the power of data
Organizations deal with ever-growing data volumes. This means that growth-minded businesses must put data at the heart of every application, process, and decision. But how you use your organization’s data is the key to accelerating innovation and accomplishing your organizational goals.
Migrate and modernize public sector applications using containers and serverless
Many public sector customers are interested in building secure, cost-effective, reliable, and highly performant applications. Technologies like containerization and serverless help customers migrate and modernize their applications. In this blog post, learn how public sector customers use offerings from AWS like AWS Lambda, HAQM Elastic Kubernetes Service (HAQM EKS), HAQM Elastic Container Service (HAQM ECS) to build modern applications supporting diverse use cases, including those driven by machine learning (ML) and generative artificial intelligence (AI). If you want to learn more on this topic, please register to attend the webinar series, Build Modern Applications on AWS.
Support FedRAMP and CMMC compliance with the Landing Zone Accelerator on AWS
Some US federal agencies and those who collaborate with them must support an automated, secure, and scalable multi-account cloud environment that meets Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) and Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) standards. To support these needs, AWS customers and partners can deploy the Landing Zone Accelerator (LZA) on AWS. Recently, AWS worked with Coalfire, a FedRAMP-approved third-party assessment organization (3PAO) and AWS Partner, to assess and verify the LZA solution.
