Amazon’s New ‘n’ Secure cloud web hosting

Recently a very new kind of cloud hosting is launched by the Amazon web service provider which is named as AWS GovCloud. The most interesting thing about this hosting type is that it is best from security side. So the government organization and the people related to such society can handle their sensitive workload with full security on the Amazon cloud web hosting.

Amazon’s new step in web hosting is really going to bring a lot of effects to public cloud hosting services. This because many major government websites are now runs on AWS web server. Recovery Accountability of treasury and transparency board of U.S is now hosting Recovery.gov and Treasury.Gov on secure amazon’s web server. More than that, NASA is also processes their telemetry records and rich resolution pictures on an EC2’s array cluster computer instances.

Key conformity is also has been set for storing of sensitive data for better security aspects. Earlier IATR (International Traffic in Arms Regulation) has responsibility for management of defense data storage. For the compliance regulation that allows only US people to access data, IATR need to store data on cloud server but unfortunately they failed to do so.

Another interesting thing about AWS GovCloud hosting services is that it can only accessible by U.S people. Heavy regulation of data can now well managed by this new web hosting type with superb security. All existing features of other AWS region are well supported by this new AWS. Certification like FISMA, FIPS 140-2 compliant end points, SAS-70, ISO 27001 and PCI DSS Level 1 are compatible with AWS. It also includes HIPAA regulation compatibility for agencies.
