Join us to learn how government agencies are using AWS GovCloud (US) to achieve data center consolidation and optimization goals, and to support IT modernization. This session features the United States' Department of Justice's Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Veterans Affairs Enterprise Cloud program. We examine these organizations' unique journeys through enterprise data center consolidation, and how these efforts are influencing application modernization and database management strategies. Topics include database re-platforming, refactoring legacy applications, compliance, technical strategies, implementation, and running operations in the cloud.
