Amazon Signs $1.3 Billion Deal To Build Top-Secret Cloud For Australian Military

The Australian government stated that Amazon Web Services would design a top-secret cloud for the country’s military and intelligence organizations.

“It would lead to greater interoperability and deeper collaboration with the United States, one of Australia’s most steadfast military allies”, a government statement reads.

Australian spy chief Rachel Noble stated that the cloud would also help the country’s ‘Redspice’ intelligence programme, which tries to combat the growing threat of cyber attacks.
