https://cloud.gov/docs/overview/what-is-cloudgov/ is the key page. Seems like they want to have a centralized place where they do the PaaS work across the govt. Let’s see if this ends up being more or less cost effective than what contractors deploy to GovCloud today.

Good idea in theory, having a big gov contract with high volume and reduced rates instead of every ministry negotiating with CSPs, with standardised setup. Harder to execute in practice, how much to charge, what costs are subsidised across differing budgets

150$ for 1GB of memory. 250$ for one hour of professional service. I guess the public sector is very well ripped off

The pricing chart just doesn't even begin to make sense. What is this? Do any of you have experience with it?
