It's good to have competition in the cloud space. Amazon
already has two government regions, I guess (1 US and 1 CN). Can someone confirm if these are already operational?
- rswail 7y agoAWS CN regions (there are two) aren't "government" regions, they are "China" regions. https://www.amazonaws.cn/en/about-aws/china/ https://www.amazonaws.cn/en/about-aws/china/ China's government makes companies store Chinese data in China and under different privacy and security laws than other nations. In particular, China makes companies enter into joint ventures with a Chinese company and comply with laws related to CCP oversight. (Not saying I agree, just stating the facts). It's the same as Apple's iCloud for China being under the control of a joint venture company based in China. https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT208351 https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT208351 AWS's "gov" cloud is a seperate set of regions in the US that are specifically for US government and contractor use and accounts in those regions are separated from the rest of AWS's infrastructure. https://aws.amazon.com/govcloud-us/ https://aws.amazon.com/govcloud-us/
