GovCloud Foundry - Rowan Jacobs, Pivotal & Bret Mogilefsky, 18F

This talk will cover government-approved IAAS regions, like AWS GovCloud and Azure Government, and how they're currently being used in the public sector for both classified and unclassified workloads. We'll also show how BOSH and cf-deployment are used on AWS GovCloud, and what special constraints separate government clouds from IAAS regions used by the private sector. Finally, we'll talk about how organizations like 18F (cloud.gov), the Government Digital Service (cloud.service.gov.uk), and the Digital Transformation Agency provide CF foundations to transform the public sector worldwide.
