> allowing any org to run data centers with a standardized interface. The state should then run their own data centers in-house with the stock design rather than outsourcing those operational costs I was under the impression that not having to build and operate their own datacenters was the idea behind outsourcing cloud. Since commercial players are already doing it, the government could piggy-back on the economies of scale already being made. Plus, they can decide not to renew their contracts and not be stuck with a datacenter on the balance sheet.
