Microsoft's announcement has a lot "will". Amazon's has a lot of "is".
- jknoepfler 9y agoWhere the "is" should be generally understood as "is[1]" [1] but in such a poorly tested, underbaked fashion you probably shouldn't bother for a few years

- jknoepfler 9y agoYeah, I worked on an AWS product launch for a product that was not ready to go live, and we ended up trying to dog-food a bunch of other AWS services that were also not ready to be live. It was honestly pretty shocking.

- TheDong 9y agoFrom the azure post you link: > authorized for use with up to High Impact level data That's not "Secret" or "Top secret" AWS govcloud has existed for HI for ages; this announcement is specifically for "Secret" classified data.
