(ent221) transforming government through technology | aws re:invent 2014
DESCRIPTION
For governments, the cloud offers not only cost savings and agility, but the opportunity to develop breakthroughs in research, accelerate economic development and innovation, and enable the "always-up, always-on" infrastructure necessary to support critical missions. National and local governments are coping with the dual challenges of constrained budgets and human resources along with strict information security regimes. Many agencies and organizations are attracted to web services rather than on premises hardware, both for the cost benefits and for agility they offer. This session provides an overview of the use cases ranging from offloading simple websites to running parallel test environments to migrating major enterprise production applications to the cloud-all of them balancing security and compliance with economy and access. Examples from FINRA, UCAS, the government of Singapore, and the US Department of Health and Human Services highlight the significant transformative impact of cloud architectures including Amazon EC2, Amazon RDS, Amazon CloudFront and Amazon DynamoDB. Learn the practical strategies being deployed by governments worldwide to break down innovation barriers and tackle mission-critical operations with the cloud.TRANSCRIPT

“We are in the process of putting most of our public-facing
data in an Amazon cloud service,” said Terry Halvorsen,
the Chief Information Officer of the Department of the
Navy, in a keynote at Meritalk’s Data Center Brainstorm
event Thursday. Halvorsen said the move could save
the Navy as much as 60 percent versus the cost of
managing that data in its own data centers.-Data Center Knowledge,

The Goal:
The Singapore Land Authority (SLA) is a Singapore
government entity focused on optimizing land
resources for economic and social development
The Challenge: Get more of traditional GIS and
Mapping technology.
The Result:
The development of an AWS-hosted “Common
Map” displays their data relating to specific
locations, making it relevant to their constituents’
lives
Singapore Land Authority - One Map
First Government-Wide National Intelligent Map Portal
• Integrated map system for government agencies to deliver
location-based services and information
• Multi-agency collaboration
Collaboration and Innovation Powered by AWS
• 150 Million Hits per month
• Creates an environment for citizens, private sector, and
community to collaborate
• Significantly reduce cost by 60%
• Enables development of a wide range of innovative applications,
services via API
• Powers more than 100 government GIS Website and Apps
“AWS has helped my
organization to provide
better service availability
and handle higher traffic
load at a lower cost”

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS)
• USCIS oversees lawful immigration to the
United States.
• Greater agility with continuous delivery
pipelines and production monitoring (Chaos
Monkey).
• DevOps practices drive speed and
efficiency.
• Enhanced security and compliance
• Time savings – Minimum 8 months no
longer necessary• Watch the video – bit.ly/dhsdevops
• Greater London transport system.
• Around 24 million journeys daily on the network;
250 million website visits annually
• Needed new services to meet the demands of an
increasing population..
• Shifted main tfl.gov.uk website to AWS
• Achieved solid availability and performance,
sustaining a massive load through April Tube
strikes (1 million pages an hour, plus all syndicated
load)
• Ease of standing up environments
• Substantial savings on operating costs; 76% of
Londoners are using the site, 20 million visits a
month due to the benefit from AWS and auto-scale.
• The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) is tasked with providing
awareness and support for health-related
threats at the national, state, and local level
in the US
• Needed to avoid the cost of purchasing and
maintaining hardware and software for its
BioSense 2.0 Application
• Savings realized by moving to the AWS
Cloud has allowed the CDC to create jobs at
state and local levels
CDC Creates Public Health Data Exchange on AWS
• Douglas County’s Geographic Information Systems (GIS) department provides government agencies and the public with municipal data related to zoning, property boundaries, utilities, infrastructure and public safety
• GIS was looking to make the move from on-premise web servers to the cloud in order to escape the distraction of IT management
• With AWS, GIS can improve its services quicker and at a lower cost
With AWS, Douglas County is Able to Save Money
While Improving Services
• 130+ State Agencies, $27B+ budget, 32K
employees, 200+ open projects, 3TB
data/day
• BHAG - Every service, available anywhere
and at any time to every Arizonan!
• DNS – Amazon Route 53 - $18K / Year
($69K savings)
• Reduced legacy servers - 61 Agencies,
2,567 Servers, 25+ systems migrated -
63% savings
• New digital platform - Open Source Tech
Stack; Amazon EC2 – 255 Instances, 54
LB, 22.3 TB Storage; Amazon RDS – 19
Instances, 2.2 TB Storage; IAM – 82 Users,
25 Groups, CDN
~2mm submissions projected for 2014
• Massive storage and compute required to analyze and geo-locate pathogen outbreaks
We were able to scan all the
documents in the AWS Cloud
… and receive the results
back with 99.7% accuracy
