GovCloud Consulting Services for Fast, Secure, FedRAMP-Ready Deployments

AWS GovCloud is a set of isolated U.S. regions designed for government and regulated workloads. It meets stricter standards through:

• Dedicated infrastructure isolated from commercial AWS regions

• U.S.–only data residency and access managed by vetted U.S. citizens

• Built-in compliance controls aligned with FedRAMP High, ITAR, and CJIS

• Continuous audits and monitoring under federal and defense frameworks

These measures ensure GovCloud meets the highest compliance levels — standards that regular AWS regions can’t match.

When that happens, Pelotech’s engineers design custom architectures and compliant workarounds using the GovCloud services that are available. We often build equivalents through containerized microservices, open-source frameworks, or secure API integrations that deliver the same functionality while keeping your environment fully FedRAMP-aligned.

AWS GovCloud is a set of Yes, with the right plan, you can migrate to GovCloud without experiencing downtime. Our team uses staged migrations that combine blue-green deployments, cross-region replication with encrypted endpoints, and automated infrastructure as code (IaC) to mirror your workloads in GovCloud. Once validated, we switch traffic to the new environment seamlessly, maintaining uptime and security throughout the transition.isolated U.S. regions designed for government and regulated workloads. It meets stricter standards through:

FedRAMP has three impact levels: Low, Moderate, and High. While Low and Moderate can run in standard AWS regions, FedRAMP High requires AWS GovCloud to meet isolation and access control standards. In practice, if your goal is FedRAMP authorization, it’s best to start in GovCloud from day one — avoiding the cost and complexity of migrating later.
