Cloud.gov is a PaaS based on Cloud Foundry. The idea is that it can run on pretty much any IaaS provider (as long as the Cloud Foundry plugins are written), certainly not limited to AWS.

18F positions are limited to 2 years, renewable by another 2 years. Many people (self included) leave the private sector for this duration to support the mission of 18F. After the term is over many people will return to the private sector.

You can certainly host it yourself on AWS, GCP, Azure etc. The general services administration is restricted to only assist federal government agencies, so you wouldn't be able to use the version being managed for the federal governmen

Try to find out who has worked for this boss (or CEO / founder) in the past. Reach out to them to hear about their experience and find out why they really left.
