Cloud Platform Services

Cloud Platform Services refers to the operating system and hardware of a server in an Internet-based data center. It allows software and hardware to co-exist remotely and at scale.

 

Cloud Infrastructure and Platform Services (CIPS) are standardized, highly automated offerings in which infrastructure resources (e.g., compute, networking, and storage) are complemented by integrated platform services. These include managed applications, databases, and functions-as-a-service offerings.

 

Cloud platform services are a type of cloud computing service that allows users to build, deploy, and manage applications and services through a cloud-based infrastructure. These services provide a variety of tools and resources that can be used to develop and run software applications, websites, databases, and other digital services. Team GHIT can deliver cloud assessment, migration, security, and management for four types of cloud configuration. These are:

 

Public cloud: A public cloud is a type of computing in which a service provider makes resources available to the public via the internet. Some public cloud providers offer resources for free, while clients pay for other resources via subscription or a pay-per-usage model.

 

Private Cloud: A virtual private cloud is an on-demand configurable pool of shared resources allocated within a public cloud environment, providing a certain level of isolation between the different organizations using the resources. A private cloud uses virtualization technology to combine resources sourced from physical hardware into shared pools. This way, the cloud doesn't have to create environments by virtualizing resources one at a time from a bunch of different physical systems.

 

Hybrid Cloud: IT infrastructure that combines a private cloud with one or more public cloud services, with proprietary software enabling communication between each distinct service. Hybrid cloud services are powerful because they give businesses greater control over their private data.

 

GovCloud: GovCloud is a specialized cloud computing environment that is designed to meet the specific requirements of government agencies, contractors, and SLED organizations that deal with sensitive data. It is essentially a government-only cloud that provides additional security  measures and complies with specific regulatory requirements.

 

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is one of the major cloud providers that offers GovCloud. AWS GovCloud is designed to meet the stringent security and compliance requirements of government agencies, and it is authorized for use by a variety of government organizations, including the Department of Defense (DoD). AWS GovCloud (US) is an isolated AWS region designed to host sensitive data and regulated workloads in the cloud, helping customers support their US government compliance requirements, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP).

 

Now Microsoft Azure, IBM, and Oracle are also strong participants in GovCloud. Overall, GovCloud is a specialized cloud environment that is tailored to meet the unique needs of government agencies and SLED organizations that deal with sensitive data. It provides additional security and compliance measures to ensure that data is handled and protected in a manner that meets regulatory requirements.
