Across DAF installations, communications squadrons and enterprise IT organizations are managing aging on-premises infrastructure — manual workflows, fragmented data environments, and technical debt that grows with every budget cycle. Migrating these environments to cloud-native architectures is the foundation for everything from AI-enabled IT service management to enterprise analytics supporting wing and command leadership. Doing it securely and compliantly, without disrupting operations, is where most organizations get stuck.
This session provides a practical, mission-focused framework for how DAF IT organizations can use AWS’s proven cloud infrastructure and AI-driven tooling to accelerate modernization, reduce technical debt, and unlock new capabilities — built on the security and compliance foundations the DAF already requires.
Learn about:

• AWS global infrastructure and zero trust network segmentation — how AWS regions, availability zones, and GovCloud partitions align to DAF network segmentation requirements and support microsegmentation across classification enclaves
• AWS shared responsibility model as a zero trust enabler — how AWS’s security responsibilities at the infrastructure layer free DAF IT teams to focus zero trust investment on identity, application, and data layers rather than physical infrastructure
• Implementing SCCA with zero trust concepts — deploying Secure Cloud Computing Architecture (BCAP/CNAP) as a zero trust enforcement layer, enabling identity-centric access, continuous authentication, and least-privilege controls from IL2 through IL5
• Maintaining ATO continuity through migration — how AWS GovCloud’s pre-authorized IL4/IL5 infrastructure and Landing Zone Accelerator enable phased modernization that preserves existing compliance investments while progressively retiring legacy infrastructure
• AI-assisted workload analysis and code modernization at IL4/IL5 — leveraging Amazon Q Developer and Amazon Bedrock in AWS GovCloud to analyze legacy codebases, automate refactoring, resolve technical debt, and accelerate migration to cloud-native architectures within a FedRAMP High, DoD CC SRG-compliant environment
• Amazon Bedrock and Kiro at IL4/IL5 — deploying FedRAMP High and DoD IL-4/5 approved generative AI and AI-powered development tooling in AWS GovCloud for document automation, IT service workflows, knowledge management, and accelerated software modernization — with private endpoint support for network-isolated environments

Whether your organization is planning its first workload migration or building a multi-year IT modernization roadmap, you’ll leave with actionable patterns, AWS reference architectures, and a framework aligned to DAF digital transformation priorities.
