"Cloud One is a multi-cloud, multi-vendor platform managed by the Air Force and available to other DoD users, described as "a one-stop shop for DoD mission application owners that require a full array of commercial cloud services." The move follows from the DoD awarding Amazon's AWS a much larger, about $581 million contract in support of the Cloud One Program in January."
"OCI provides dedicated and secure datacenter support for the DoD users, including Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information, Special Access Programs, and Defense Information Systems Agency Impact Levels 5 and 6 (DoD IL5 and IL6) workloads. The firm also states that its Oracle National Security Regions are only operated by cleared US citizens. That's a step up from Microsoft, which reportedly used China-based workers on US government cloud services."
