To be clear, it appears they are moving to their own thing called "GovCloud" not AWS GovCloud which doesn't allow for safe storage of secret information. AWS C2S does though (thats the special region they built for CIA that launched last year)
- dev_dull 8y ago> not AWS GovCloud which doesn't allow for safe storage of secret informatio Sure it does. I think this has a lot more to do with federal data requirements than technical security. E.g. data centers are all so many miles apart.
- geofft 8y agoI think the comment was that GovCloud is not approved for storing information whose classification level is "secret," not that AWS does not keep data in GovCloud secret.
- Diederich 8y agoQuite a few government agencies now use C2S besides the CIA. It's qualified for top secret as well as compartmentalized data.
