“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,

Paving the way for…

Real change

• Support world-changing projects

• Enable economic development

• Improve citizen services and engagement

• Improve research and education

• Support world-changing projects

• Enable economic development

• Improve citizen services and engagement

• Improve research and education

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”

Department of Homeland Security:

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
