I'm surprised this isn't being discussed more. With a huge $10bil cloud I would think you would want to select a secondary vendor to distribute redundant workloads and data storage. Even if Azure or GCP couldn't meet some requirements today it's a ten-year project and both are expanding quickly. Azure has recently brought online government-specific locations and Google has already has geographically dispersed zones within regions that meet these requirements.
