DHS Headquarters Amazon Web Services (DHS HQ AWS)

Access to public cloud services will be managed by the DHS Solutions Development Directorate (SDD) to ensure AWS cloud services are consumed across the CIO s office with appropriate levels of governance, security, and technical integration with existing DHS Information Technology (IT) services, and business integration with existing financial and contractual processes. This approach will greatly reduce the burden on the part of individual cloud users, organizations, programs, and projects. The scope of this requirement includes all currently existing and, upon announcement, new or enhanced Amazon Web Services (AWS): For Amazon public cloud regions, all AWS services available to commercial customers shall be made available to DHS. For Amazon Government Cloud (GovCloud) regions, all AWS service available to GovCloud customers shall be made available to DHS.
