Addewa & AWS: Accelerating Federal Innovation

Overview 

Addewa delivers AWS cloud consulting focused on Infrastructure as Code and compliant-by-design architectures. Our team has designed, deployed, and operated production AWS environments for federal and regulated organizations, where reliability, auditability, and cost control are enforced as part of normal operations. 

We codify AWS best practices and the AWS Well-Architected Framework into reusable, AWS-native patterns, embedding security, governance, and financial controls directly into the platform. This approach supports large, multi-account environments that scale predictably, remain audit-ready, and can be operated long after initial deployment without continual remediation. 

What We Do on AWS 

1. AWS Landing Zones & Compliant Foundations 

Secure, scalable AWS environments—ready for mission workloads 

We design and deploy multi-account AWS landing zones aligned to federal security and governance requirements, using AWS-native services and Infrastructure as Code. 

Capabilities include: 

· AWS Control Tower–based multi-account architectures 

· Identity and access management (AWS IAM, AWS SSO) 

· Network segmentation and secure connectivity (VPCs, Transit Gateway) 

· Centralized logging, monitoring, and audit readiness 

· Guardrails aligned to NIST, agency policies, and FedRAMP patterns 

· Fully automated provisioning using Terraform and AWS CloudFormation 

Outcome: Agencies and primes receive a repeatable, auditable AWS foundation that accelerates ATO timelines and reduces operational risk. 

2. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) & Platform Automation 

Build once. Deploy consistently. Scale safely. 

We help organizations transition from manual cloud builds to fully automated AWS platforms, embedding security and compliance into the pipeline. 

Services include: 

· Terraform and CloudFormation frameworks 

· CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure and applications 

· Environment promotion (dev → test → prod) 

· Drift detection and configuration enforcement 

· Reusable modules for common federal patterns 

Outcome: Faster environment provisioning, fewer configuration errors, and predictable, policy-driven deployments across programs. 

3. AWS Architecture Design & Advisory 

Right-sized architectures for real mission needs 

We provide hands-on AWS solution architecture services for both new builds and legacy modernization. 

Focus areas: 

· Application modernization and re-platforming 

· Hybrid and multi-cloud integration 

· High-availability and disaster recovery design 

· Secure data architectures and analytics platforms 

· AI-ready and automation-ready cloud foundations 

Outcome: Architectures that balance cost, performance, resilience, and compliance—not reference architectures that look good on slides but fail in operations. 

4. Cybersecurity, Governance & Compliance on AWS 

Security engineered in—not bolted on 

Our team has led cybersecurity and governance programs across civilian and defense agencies. On AWS, we translate that experience into practical, automated security architectures. 

Capabilities include: 

· AWS security reference architectures 

· Identity-centric Zero Trust patterns 

· Continuous monitoring and audit evidence collection 

· Security automation aligned to NIST 800-53 and agency controls 

· Governance dashboards and compliance reporting 

Outcome: Reduced audit friction, improved security posture, and continuous compliance instead of annual fire drills. 

5. AWS Cost Management & FinOps 

Control spend without slowing delivery 

We help agencies and integrators implement AWS-native cost visibility and controls. 

Services include: 

· Account and workload cost modeling 

· Budgeting and forecasting 

· Cost allocation and chargeback/showback 

· Rightsizing and optimization strategies 

· Governance guardrails to prevent runaway spend 

Outcome: Predictable cloud costs and financial transparency aligned to program and mission outcomes. 

Why Addewa for AWS 

· Built cloud accelerators before they were products
Our architects designed large-scale, compliant cloud platforms years before landing zones became standard offerings. 

· Federal delivery credibility
Our leaders have run $25M–$250M portfolios and delivered cloud and modernization programs at IRS, SEC, USDA, FAA, DoD, NSF, CMS, and more. 

· Automation-first mindset
We emphasize Infrastructure as Code, policy-driven guardrails, and continuous validation—reducing human error and operational risk. 

· Designed for regulated environments
Security, compliance, accessibility, and governance are embedded from day one.
