I don't actually disagree with that. My problem is in structuring these contract awards such that the only companies that can compete for them are those that offer a whole bunch of managed services, and then charge more for basic "turn on a VM" because of it, but then all we get to do is turn on a VM. If all we need is someone to host servers, award a contract to just host servers and be done with it. This is effectively what the NRO's AUE is. That was my wife's old program. But they're forcing everybody to leave that unless they can prove they need some kind of hardware Amazon doesn't provide and use the CIA's C2S instead, even if all you're ever going to use is VMs.
