This cloud service contract had been objected to and held up by Microsoft who just withdrew their objections.
Private employees with the keys to the castle. Hmmm.
I'm all about privatizing government, but this seems a bit uncomfortable.
The Russians and Chinese would put their best hackers on this cloud hack, night and day.
the people who operate this all have the required DoD/DOE/SCI
clearances. AWS has operated 3 letter agency clouds for some time.
And Bezos also owns the Washington Post, doesn’t he? “Forget it Jake, it’s darkstate town.”
Break up Amazon!
.
How can anyone at Amazon possibly get a security clearance?
This is outrageous.

“The Russians and Chinese would put their best hackers on this cloud hack, night and day.”
IF they even needed to.
Working for the State we just got a memo last week saying if you got data in the cloud you best have a damn good reason and approval for it, else get it down to our own servers!
Will Bezos use the cash to buy The New York Times?
Just another reason I’ll never knowingly use ‘The Cloud’ for anything. How ‘bout you?
