As we continue to collaborate with public sector organizations globally, Amazon recognizes the crucial role of open-source software and development communities. In response to the ongoing challenges posed by COVID-19, we have compiled a collection of open code examples, tools, and standards that public sector reformers can utilize immediately. This valuable resource is now accessible in our Open Government Solutions section.
We are also excited to announce that Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) is now fully operational in the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. This development allows government entities and organizations in regulated industries to adopt Kubernetes as their orchestrating standard for containers. According to a recent survey by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, Amazon EKS remains the preferred method for deploying Kubernetes.
Moreover, the COVID-19 Healthcare Coalition has emerged as a private-sector initiative aimed at addressing the pandemic. This coalition unites healthcare providers, technology companies, nonprofits, and academic institutions to safeguard the healthcare system in the U.S. AWS is proud to be a participant in this coalition, collaborating with esteemed institutions like the Mayo Clinic and Johns Hopkins to leverage our collective resources for better clinical outcomes.
If you’re a U.S. government employee eager to expand your cloud computing knowledge, the AWS Training and Certification team is launching another no-cost virtual series focused on foundational courses tailored specifically for government applications. For researchers, we have curated a selection of on-demand online courses available at no charge, designed to meet the needs of the research community. With AWS, scientists can efficiently analyze extensive data sets and share findings globally.
Additionally, we invite you to participate in the inaugural Amazon Alexa EdTech Skills Challenge, in partnership with SXSW EDU. This competition encourages U.S.-based EdTech companies to utilize Alexa for educational transformation. Vote for your favorite finalist and enter for a chance to win an Amazon Echo Show (2nd Gen).
We are also thrilled to announce the launch of the first AWS Public Sector Summit Online, scheduled for Tuesday, June 30, 2020. Registration is open, and participants can expect an engaging experience from the comfort of their homes. Leading up to the Summit, we are releasing a five-part series of the Fix This podcast, where I will engage with government, education, and healthcare professionals about leveraging technology to tackle pressing challenges.
Finally, AWS Educate is proud to introduce its first cohort of Student Ambassadors. This initiative aims to empower students in their educational journeys.
