AWS for Government & Federal Agencies

Book 2: Agency Architectures, ATO & Modern Patterns

by Stephen P. Thomas

Book 2 continues the AWS Federal series with agency-specific architecture patterns for civilian agencies, law enforcement, DoD, and the Intelligence Community. Walk through the ATO process from SSP writing to continuous monitoring. Then implement modern federal patterns — serverless, containers, Kubernetes, data analytics, and hybrid cloud modernization — all on GovCloud.

What You'll Learn

• Design agency-specific architectures for CFO Act civilian agencies, legacy modernization, and citizen services
• Build CJIS-compliant law enforcement systems including body camera data, CAD, and inter-agency data sharing
• Architect for DoD Impact Levels, CMMC, JWCC, and mission-critical resilience
• Navigate C2S, IC-adjacent GovCloud workloads, compartmentalization, and personnel security
• Write an SSP, prepare evidence, work with 3PAOs, and remediate findings
• Maintain authorization with continuous monitoring, POA&M management, and reauthorization
• Deploy serverless, container, and Kubernetes workloads on GovCloud with compliance guardrails
• Modernize legacy systems with Outposts, hybrid cloud, and migration strategies
