Also, DISA not only has AWS instances, they have their own freaking installation of AWS! As in, they literally own a replicated version of AWS that only they can use and control. The government is a bloated, ugly beast, but they know what they're doing and they squeeze the vendors for every drop of value. Margins in this space are tiny.
- nickpsecurity 10y agoI thought it was CIA that did that. DISA in on it too or is it a DOD-wide thing?
- ageofwant 10y agoYea, forgive me if I don't shed a tear for a $20B revenue company's "tiny" margins. Revenue, I may add, accrued by underhanded and illegal means. It broke the rules we depend on for society to work, and it got away with that. Leaving its "partners" with no viable options.
- blister 10y agoIt's not just the $20B revenue companies that provide support and services to the government. The big companies make the headlines with their billion dollar contracts, but the bulk of the support, services, and infrastructure is provided by Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses, 8(a)s, and a bunch of other tiny business acronyms. We're all trying to kick ass (because we love the country) for pennies on the dollar.

- blash 10y agoYou're a monumental idiot. You obviously have no clue what you're talking about. DISA is beyond massive. And have clearly never worked deploying something at this scale using a custom-built solution.
