The federal government is making the admininstration's strongest statement yet in support of Web-based computing as it is adopting a "cloud-first" policy.
Clearly the government realizes the fast pace at which technology changes, and with its complex system and usually slow decision-making process, it may make an IT acquisition only to find out one month later that the technology has gone obsolete. As federal officials push agencies to move their data and applications to the web, the number of physical data centers the government uses will be significantly reduced.
The article included comments from a couple key officials in the change process, and it sounded like the decision to move to the Cloud has received quite positive feedback and support.
The federal government will outline more details at an open meeting on Dec. 9.
