Reduce IT costs by implementing automatic shutdown for Amazon EC2 instances
To remain viable and continue to fulfill their mission, educational institutions are constantly seeking ways to optimize their IT costs while maintaining high-quality services. One often overlooked area for potential savings is the management of cloud resources, particularly Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances. Many universities and colleges find themselves facing unexpected costs when EC2 instances are left running during off-peak hours or periods of inactivity. In this post, we explore how higher education customers can implement automatic shutdown mechanisms for EC2 instances, significantly reducing cloud expenses.
Allies can share data and technologies and remain compliant with international regulations using AWS
National security and defense depend upon close collaboration between international allies. To protect sensitive data and promote robust cybersecurity frameworks, organizations must consider one another’s compliance requirements. One such requirement is the United States International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), which restricts and controls the export of defense and military-related technologies in order to safeguard US national security. Here, we set out how an innovation called Trusted Secure Enclaves (TSE) on Amazon Web Services (AWS) allows non-US national organizations who want to use the most modern and innovative technology to deliver defense and security missions using the cloud can do this and be compliant.
