Programmable infrastructure has revolutionized said Tracy. Agencies are able to “fail fast,” quickly prototype and test their ideas without investing a lot of money. AWS’s extensive infrastructure makes it simple to move data and applications, while also providing high levels of resiliency and availability. Tracy noted that in his experience, state and local governments across the country tend to start small when they first implement cloud technology.
Governments can then begin using core
Services such as compute, storage, database, and virtual private cloud. Organizations can eventually work their way up to deploying more complex workloads, including operational continuity, disaster recovery (DR), and domain controller replication. “AWS builds all of these capabilities for you, which means you don’t have to be an in-depth subject matter expert on every technology you want to implement,” says Tracy.
