title: "Announcing the AWS Digital Sovereignty Well-Architected Lens"
description: "The new AWS Digital Sovereignty Well-Architected Lens offers extended guidance for designing, building, and operating sovereign workloads, addressing challenges not fully covered by existing guidance. It includes procedures to deploy Oracle Database on Amazon EVS with FSx for ONTAP, covering provisioning, NFS mounting, and SnapMirror replication. It details multi-day AZ evacuation drills with ARC Zonal Shift across ECS, EKS, RDS for PostgreSQL, and Aurora PostgreSQL, providing CLI commands and observability metrics. MHK built the SmartProminence AI Orchestrator on Amazon Bedrock, a HIPAA-eligible framework that reduced manual medical review by 90% and cut deployment from months to weeks. CSIRO developed Serverless Beacon for genomic variant querying on AWS, implementing the GA4GH standard with S3, Lambda, DynamoDB, and Athena."
