Digital Earth Africa and AWS are making satellite data work for Africa

Amazon Web Services (AWS), through the Open Data on AWS and Amazon Sustainability Data Initiative (ASDI) programs, became a foundational collaborator from the outset, hosting Digital Earth Africa’s data on AWS infrastructure in Cape Town, South Africa, and enabling African users to access and analyze petabytes of satellite data at a speed and scale that would otherwise be out of reach.

Building machine-readable FedRAMP 20x evidence on AWS

In this post, we walk through the evidence pipeline, from Amazon Web Services (AWS) Config evaluations and AWS Security Hub findings through transformation and storage, to producing the dual-format output that satisfies FedRAMP 20x Phase 2 completeness requirements.

Validating infrastructure as code against FedRAMP 20x Shift-left compliance

Validating infrastructure as code against FedRAMP 20x: Shift-left compliance

Catching a compliance violation in production is expensive. Catching it in a pull request is nearly free. In this post, we demonstrate how to build a multi-tool infrastructure as code (IaC) validation pipeline that checks AWS CloudFormation templates and Terraform configurations against Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) 20x Key Security Indicators (KSIs) before deployment. Combined with the preventive controls from Preventive controls for FedRAMP 20x: Using SCPs and guardrails to enforce KSIs and the methods to be described in future blog posts, this creates a full-lifecycle compliance architecture.
