Federal agencies face growing demands for secure, efficient, and cost-effective cloud solutions. Navigating the complexities of hybrid cloud environments—balancing on-premise infrastructure with public cloud capabilities—requires a strategic approach to architecture, security, and performance optimization.
Peraton and AWS came together to discuss how industry can best provide federal decision-makers with practical insights into optimizing cloud environments for mission success. Panelists discussed the best practices for implementing zero trust security, executing seamless data center migrations, and reducing operational friction in hybrid cloud ecosystems.
How are you seeing government customers successfully integrate cloud into their IT operations and what trends are emerging in hybrid cloud adoption?
“Successful agencies have clear business and mission objectives. We need to focus on mission drivers and the outcomes we’re trying to achieve. Implementing technology alone is not the end goal, we’re looking to solve challenges for users or customers.” – Jason Blinn, Peraton
The panelists also addressed emerging trends on the horizon such as automation for operations, satisfying regulatory requirements, shifting the mindset about security and the distributed workforce, and proactively leveraging the latest technology.
