User: What is Project Nimbus?
Assistant: Project Nimbus is the Israel government's project and tender process to move all computing from on premise to the cloud for all government entities including the military. The first phase of the $1.2 billion tender process - for the cloud infrastructure - was awarded to Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Amazon Web Services (AWS), who have built local data centers to ensure all information will remain within Israel's borders under strict security guidelines.

The second phase will involve engaging technology and services companies to develop policy and the third will be to move operations onto the cloud. The fourth and final phase will be implementing and optimising cloud operations leveraging 1st party and 3rd party services available on GCP and AWS cloud platforms available within Israel. 

The terms of the contract forbid Amazon and Google from halting services due to any boycott pressure, or from denying service to any particular government entity including their military.
