I thought AWS's Security & Compliance features[1] was the reason why it was selected before for such purposes. Do any of the low-cost alternatives offer similar security and compliance levels?

- nonameiguess 5y agoHonestly, I don't know. Raytheon stood up a very simple cloud platform for the RROC to run on based on Open Stack, and still provides the AUE, which is just bare metal and VMs and no managed services. But it's hard to say if they're cheaper because the charging model is so different. Application providers need to order their equipment, but get someone else to install it and run it for them.
