Australia mandates cloud use by government agencies
Australia's Department of Finance has updated its Cloud Policy to say “... agencies now must adopt cloud”.
Those italics are the Department's, and it also has some qualifications for the edict, namely that cloud should only be adopted “where it is fit for purpose, provides adequate protection of data and delivers value for money.”
The Policy [PDF] refers to guidelines for assessing security and value for money, but is silent on just what “fit for purpose” represents.
