I have a hard time seeing the military and intelligence communities ever putting their data and computing up on Amazon. DMV, Social Security, and police records? Presidential archives? What about concerns such as regulatory compliance? Patient records from hospitals that must comply with HIPAA, and compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley regulation for financial records? Strategy and design documents from multinational corporations? I don't deny that data and compute will continue to move to the cloud over the next decade, but there are some things which may never make that transition.
- sseveran 12y agoAWS is HIPAA compliant (http://aws.amazon.com/compliance/ http://aws.amazon.com/compliance/). The CIA selected AWS for a large ($600MM) buildout. Strategy and design documents are already in the cloud organically via OneDrive, DropBox and Google Drive. NASDAQ does sell Sarbox compliance as a key feature of its cloud product but I have a hard time seeing how in the long run that will really differentiate. The reality is that AWS is likely not any less secure than legacy IT infrastructure. It also provides great primitives for writing more secure applications.
