The U.S. Government Publishing Office has started to transition its public-facing websites to an Amazon Web Services cloud computing infrastructure.
GPO said Thursday it will use company’s services to migrate Integrated Library System web portals in an effort to comply with the government-wide Federal Cloud First policy.
“Moving these sites to the cloud demonstrates our ongoing commitment to leverage the best technology tools to support GPO’s mission of keeping America informed,” noted Chuck Riddle, chief information officer of the GPO.
The agency has also implemented a cloud-based email system in a move to increase mailbox size and data archive capacity, as well as provide employees access to anti-spam, collaboration tools and online meeting tools.
