Microsoft Azure is winning the defense cloud wars. It seems defense is putting everything into Azure verses Amazon’s AWS. I’ve been on many meeting this past year with zero talk about AWS and all efforts concentrated on Azure. Gov Cloud and Secured Gov Cloud are all Azure.

Microsoft certainly got that JEDI contract; whether it represents a total commitment on the part of the DoD or not has yet to be determined. I hope Azure continues to do well.

Well, no.... My employer is a defense contractor (among other things), and we're currently using Amazon's AWS GovCloud for gov contract work, and all indications are that we'll continue doing so with full knowledge and encouragement from the contracting agencies. That includes the use of sensitive data (NIST 800-171 / DFARS defined CUI).
