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

Top-secret Australian military intelligence will be stored on a special cloud server developed by US tech giant Amazon, Canberra announced, as a part of a US$1.3 billion deal.

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.

Amazon plans to develop three data centres across Australia.
