Government cloud

This is a common cloud service usage environment for the government. By making the most of the advantages of cloud services, the government aims to enable the construction of a system that is fast, flexible, secure, and cost-efficient, and to provide and improve services that are highly convenient for users as soon as possible. The government will consider enabling local governments to enjoy the same advantages.

Overview

For the development of modern applications that can improve the user experience and flexibly change information systems according to changes in the world's situation, it is essential to build IT infrastructure flexibly and quickly. The government will provide a common environment in which infrastructure can be prepared automatically, flexibly and quickly according to the requirements of application developers by making the best use of the latest cloud technology. By utilizing the latest cloud technology, the high security, availability and scalability provided by cloud services can be used. At the same time, by using governance functions and templates, the government will improve the management level of the government as a whole, raise the level of quality and standardize based on best practices, and support the labor-saving examination and configuration automation of security, networks and operation monitoring. By appropriately using managed services based on templates and realizing the automation of construction and operation, the reduction of infrastructure costs can be realized. In addition, by using government cloud, the visualization and transparency of infrastructure costs will be realized, and appropriate evaluation of costs will be possible.

By providing a standard environment based on best practices using templates for environments that can utilize the latest cloud technologies, we will provide maximum support for governments and local governments to make application development modern.

Government Cloud Determining Target Cloud Services

On the Usage of Government Cloud Technical Requirements

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

  • Government Cloud Technical Requirements
    The Government Cloud is introduced as a secure and cost-effective system. 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 set for procurement.

  • Results of the
    For 305 items of technical requirements, we will publish the results of the usage status in AWS.
