Government Cloud

This is a common cloud service usage environment for the government. By making the most of the advantages of cloud services, it is possible to build a system that is fast, flexible, secure, and cost-effective. We aim to provide and improve services that are highly convenient for users as soon as possible. We will consider ways to enable 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 in response to changes in the world situation, it is essential to build IT infrastructure flexibly and quickly. By making the most of the latest cloud technology, the government will provide an environment in which infrastructure can be prepared automatically, flexibly, and quickly according to the requirements of application developers. By utilizing the latest cloud technology, the high security, availability, and scalability provided by cloud services can be utilized. At the same time, governance functions and templates will be used to improve the level of management of the government as a whole, raise and standardize quality based on best practices, and support labor-saving and configuration automation of security, network, and operation monitoring. Infrastructure costs can be reduced by using managed services appropriately based on templates and realizing construction and operation automation. In addition, by using government cloud, infrastructure costs can be visualized and made transparent, and costs can be appropriately evaluated.

We will provide a standard environment based on best practices using templates for environments that can take advantage of the latest cloud technologies to help the government and local governments modernize application development as much as possible.

Determining Cloud Services for Government Cloud

On the Use of Technical Requirements for Government Cloud

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

  • Technical Requirements for Government Cloud
    The Government Cloud is a secure and cost-effective system to be introduced. Both domestic and foreign companies are required to meet standards such as "ensuring the latest and highest level of information security" and "ensuring the safety of data storage." In fiscal 2023, 305 technical requirements were listed for procurement.

  • Results of the
    The results of the use of 305 technical requirements in AWS are published.
