Government Wants Transparency
“It’s all going to be up in the cloud in some time” is a quote that has been used a lot of times in the recent past and there has been some serious news regarding it recently too. You would probably not be amazed to know that the federal government of the US is taking the required steps and gaining information about moving its services and infrastructure to the cloud. The only issue they have right now (With the abundance of service providers) is the lack of transparency in their dealings and the provision of services.

It goes without saying that there is some seriously important data at stake when it comes to the federal government and they have to take each step with increased care. This is a paradigm shift of the highest caliber and the federal government needs to be plainly sure that when their huge data is dumped on to the cloud, whether enhanced security measures will be taken or not.
There are some big names like Microsoft and Amazon that have got state of the art tools that are going to quench all the needs of the government, not most of the cloud providing companies can claim to say the same.
The government has urged these companies to be as transparent as they possibly can but up till now, no credible company has been able to do so.
All in all, this is a step that will require more than a couple of years before it can completely replace the older mode of operations so here is hoping things work out in the best way for the federal employees of America.
