AWS on JWCC for U.S. Defense
Working with DoD customers to provide mission-critical cloud capabilities securely and reliably
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud. Leading government agencies around the world use AWS to lower costs, become more agile, and innovate faster. The Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability (JWCC) contract enables AWS to continue providing Department of Defense (DoD) customers with secure, reliable, and mission-critical cloud services.
AWS's inclusion in JWCC affords DoD customers a streamlined way to deploy their cloud environments to meet the needs of their mission. Develop your mission-critical workload today and deploy it in the AWS Cloud tomorrow.
How AWS can help your mission
Deploy compute and storage capabilities to the tactical edge
Data-heavy applications relying on low-latency connections are critical for communications and coordination in the field. This data at the tactical edge is essential to mission success, but accessing the cloud in remote environments can pose a challenge. Traditionally, this has meant spending time and resources to establish a traditional data center where none existed before. Now, AWS can get you large-scale workloads where they're needed most without the traditional data center.

Delivering satellite communications to users around the globe
No matter the location, having connectivity in the field is crucial to DoD operations. Satellite systems provide users with critical capabilities from CONUS bases to the front lines. AWS and Amazon’s Project Kuiper will help shape the future of global, ubiquitous, and secure connectivity throughout the space domain for the United States and its allies.

AWS Snowblade for U.S Department of Defense Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability (JWCC) contract customers
Extend the AWS Cloud to the tactical edge
AWS Snowblade provides AWS compute, storage, and other hybrid services in remote locations, including Denied, Disrupted, Intermittent, and Limited (DDIL) environments. AWS Snowblade is the first AWS Snow Family device that meets US Military Ruggedization Standards (MIL-STD-810H), enabling defense customers to run their operations in edge locations that can be subject to extreme temperatures, vibrations, and shocks. With support for 208 vCPU in a portable, compact 5U, half-rack width form-factor, AWS Snowblade is the densest compute device of the AWS Snow Family allowing customers to run demanding workloads in space, weight, and power (SWaP) constrained edge locations.

AWS Modular Data Center for U.S Department of Defense Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability (JWCC) contract customers
Run low-latency applications in infrastructure-limited environments
AWS Modular Data Center allows the DoD to deploy self-contained data centers with built-in AWS infrastructure to locations with limited infrastructure. It supports both AWS Outposts racks or AWS Snow Family, and can be scaled through the deployment of additional modular data center units. AWS Modular Data Center reduces the time and resources it takes to build data centers for large-scale missions at the tactical edge.
