Using AWS GovCloud (US) to perform public policy research at speed
summary
MDRC migrates a staged workload from colocation to AWS GovCloud, using CloudFormation plus ECR/ECS and vetted offerings from the GovCloud Marketplace to automate repeatable environments and maintain NIST 800‑53 controls. The result is a FedRAMP accreditation and HHS authority to operate for the research platform SPROUT, enabling nationwide studies across 50 states with a very small team. Plans focus on adding automated ML for cybersecurity and analytics to handle rising data volume.
