The Air Force calls its Cloud One offering a multi-cloud, multi-vendor ecosystem. Cloud One hosts more than 100 applications. Maj. Andrew Beckman, Program Manager for Cloud One, introduces you to some of his team, and explains how Cloud One’s multi-cloud environment drives mission success for the Air Force.

The Air Force’s multi-cloud environment is just one example of that approach in the federal government. More and more agencies are taking that approach for the reasons Major Beckman laid out. Bob Genter, president of the Defense and Civilian Sector of SAIC, says that approach works for several key reasons.

Most cloud practitioners refer to the cloud “journey” when they discuss the concept. Every agency is in a different place on that journey. Noell Rebellez, Federal lead for Cloud Services in the Office of the Chief Information Officer at the Department of Labor, updates you on where his agency is on its cloud journey, and where it’s going.
