Starting today, customers can deploy their Graviton-based and GPU-accelerated workloads on Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) Managed Instances in a Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) compliant mode in the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. FIPS is a U.S. and Canadian government standard that specifies the security requirements for cryptographic modules that protect sensitive information.
In the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions, Amazon ECS Managed Instances automatically enable FIPS compliance by default. ECS Managed Instances communicate through FIPS-compliant endpoints, use appropriately configured cryptographic modules, and boot the underlying kernel in FIPS mode. Customers with federal compliance requirements can run workloads with FIPS-validated cryptographic modules across a broad range of instance types, including Graviton-based, GPU-accelerated, network-optimized, and burstable performance instances.
To learn more about FIPS, refer to FIPS on AWS and AWS Fargate Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS-140). To get started with ECS Managed Instances, use the AWS Console, Amazon ECS MCP Server, ECS Express Mode, or your favorite infrastructure-as-code tooling to enable it in a new or existing Amazon ECS cluster. You will be charged for the management of compute provisioned, in addition to your regular Amazon EC2 costs. To learn more about ECS Managed Instances, visit the feature page, documentation, and AWS News launch blog.
