Amazon Launches a Cloud Service For US Intelligence Agencies (cnbc.com)

Posted by msmash on Monday November 20, 2017 @09:20AM from the not-so-secret-anymore dept.

Amazon Web Services on Monday introduced cloud service for the CIA and other members of the U.S. intelligence community. From a report: The launch of the so-called AWS Secret Region comes six years after AWS introduced GovCloud, its first data center region for public sector customers. AWS has since announced plans to expand GovCloud. The new Secret Region signals interest in using AWS from specific parts of the U.S. government. In 2013 news outlets reported on a $600 million contract between AWS and the CIA. That event singlehandledly helped Amazon in its effort to sign up large companies to use its cloud, whose core services have been available since 2006.

Back when bringing trophy hunt carcasses back to the US wasn't the pressing issue for the duly elected golf course manager under indictment for conspiracy to commit treason. Good point, how times have changed.
