As you likely know, Amazon has a $600,000 contract with the CIA for "data storage"

The Details About the CIA’s Deal With Amazon

A $600 million computing cloud built by an outside company is a “radical departure” for the risk-averse intelligence community.

The intelligence community is about to get the equivalent of an adrenaline shot to the chest.

If the technology plays out as officials envision, it will usher in a new era of cooperation and coordination, allowing agencies to share information and services much more easily and avoid the kind of intelligence gaps that preceded the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
