Under the state government’s new cloud strategy.
Adopting public cloud will now be the default for all government state agencies under a new principle that has been introduced by the New South Wales government under its new cloud strategy. Under the new principle, Minister for Customer Service Victor Dominello said all agencies would embed a “public cloud by default” principle for all IT procurement decisions and have the “highest security, privacy, and contractual safeguards” when going to market for computing services. “It is a move that will accelerate innovation, modernise service delivery, and create better outcomes for the citizens of NSW,” Dominello said in a statement on Friday. “A modern and reliable cloud strategy and cloud policy will enable government-wide adoption of public cloud services in a united and secure manner.” According to the state government, the strategy has been designed to provide government agencies with a “common vision, direction, and approach for consuming cloud services”.
