- numbsafari 9y agoI’m still confused... most orgs running HIPAA workloads are still doing so on prem, AND using very much non-free software. Google, and Amazon, and MS, undergo extensive third-party audits and people can, and do, run HIPAA workloads there. I’m not sure what distinction you are trying to draw.
- kuschku 9y agoThe distinction is that companies that require HIPAA workloads aren’t going to upload their entire dataset into Google Cloud Spanner, which is not available as on-prem version, and which isn’t HIPAA certified. So either we need an on-prem version of Cloud Spanner, Cloud Spanner needs to be HIPAA certified, certified to match German privacy laws, etc, or Cloud Spanner can’t serve these situations.
