Government cloud

Last Updated:

This is a common environment for the government to use cloud services. By making the most of the advantages of cloud services, we aim to make it possible to build a system that is fast, flexible, secure, and cost-effective, and to provide and improve services that are highly convenient for users as soon as possible. We will promote consideration so that local governments can enjoy the same advantages.

Overview

Building an IT infrastructure flexibly and quickly is a must for modern application development that can improve user experience and flexibly change information systems in response to changes in the world. The government will provide an environment in which the infrastructure can be automatically, flexibly and quickly prepared according to the requests of application developers by taking full advantage of the latest cloud technology. By taking advantage of the latest cloud technology, the government can take advantage of the high security, availability and scalability provided by cloud services. At the same time, by using governance functions and templates, the government will improve the level of management as a whole, raise and standardize quality based on best practices, and support labor-saving and configuration automation such as security, network and operation monitoring. Infrastructure costs can be reduced by appropriately using managed services based on templates and realizing automation of construction and operation. In addition, by using government cloud, infrastructure costs can be visualized and made transparent so that costs can be appropriately evaluated.

We maximize support for modernizing application development for government and local governments by providing a standard, best-practice, templated environment for leveraging the latest cloud technologies.

Government Cloud Determining which cloud services to target

On the Use of Technical Requirements for Government Clouds

Published: July 5, 2024
We conducted a survey on the use of technical requirements for cloud services covered by Government Cloud. Please see the survey results below.

  • Technical Requirements for Government Cloud
    Government Cloud is to be introduced as a secure and cost-effective system, and it is essential for both domestic and foreign companies to meet standards such as "being able to ensure the latest and highest level of information security" and "being able to ensure the safety of data storage." In fiscal 2023, 305 technical requirements were presented for procurement.

  • Results of the
    We will publish the results of the usage of 305 technical requirements in AWS.
