DoD backs off cloud contract with Amazon partner worth nearly $1 billion
The Department of Defense announced Monday that it is substantially modifying the terms of a nearly $1 billion agreement it made with an Amazon partner company to transition agency data to the cloud.
The original agreement, signed in February, tasked Rean Cloud, LLC with enabling multiple agencies within the Defense Department to procure cloud solutions in a new streamlined process, but was immediately criticized by some in industry who feared the Pentagon was playing favorites.
