AgroPages-AWS ready to help Indian govt with safeguarding sensitive data-Agricultural news

As Amazon Web Services (AWS) doubles down on reaching out to the Indian government with its Public Sector Cloud offerings, the key is to bring the message home that AWS is the only player which can isolate sensitive data from the routine open data with even a single “instance” (a virtual server in the AWS Cloud) on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) and keep it safe within the boundaries of the country.

In India, the broad themes that AWS focuses around the public sector are healthcare, agriculture, livelihood and inclusion.

“Agriculture is a big focus area for us. We have been working consistently with a set of stakeholders to identify right intervention areas and right challenges to go after because you have to realise that what will work in India is going to be at a different level, like smart farming which is a very different concept here,” Sharma emphasized.

Teresa Carlson, Vice President, Worldwide Public Sector, AWS, met Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar and Amitabh Kant, CEO of Niti Aayog recently, and discussed how the farming community can leverage AWS Cloud capabilities for better yield.

At AWS re: Invent, she announced a government workload assessment service at no cost, adding that the company opened six Cloud innovation centres across the globe in 2019.

“The identification of right challenges and the ability to use the right tools is important when it comes to handling sensitive data,” said Sharma.
