The General Services Administration-run cloud.gov hosting platform has completed the final stage of Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program assessment.
The clearance makes Cloud.gov the first fully open-sourced service to attain FedRAMP authorization, according to a Feb. 2 blog post from GSA’s 18F innovation shop.
Cloud.gov is a platform-as-a-service developed by 18F that aims to help agencies improve their IT management. The site, which runs on Amazon Web Services’ GovCloud, handles many of the FedRAMP technical and compliance requirements of the underlying cloud platform, and allows agencies to focus on their web applications and code instead.
