GC Accelerator Conscious of the fact that wide adoption in GC will require enabling GC department to effectively and rapidly deploy application, computing etc. in public could environment. TBS in collaboration with SSC and other departments had developed GC accelerator for Microsoft Azure and AWS cloud.

These minimum guardrails are to be implemented within the GC-specified initial period (e.g. 30 days) upon receipt of an enrollment under the GC Cloud Services Framework Agreement. • GC Cloud Guardrails - DRAFT for Consultation o Cloud Guardrails - Initial 30 Days o Standard Operating Procedure for Validating Cloud Guardrails

== Secure Cloud Connectivity ==

The establishment of secure cloud connections to cloud services and trusted interconnection points will:  

 

• Improve resiliency of the GC infrastructure with dedicated and private connections to cloud;  

 

• thereby ensuring continued access to GC information systems and solutions hosted in the cloud;  

 

• Help the GC to mitigate direct attacks from the Internet against cloud-based GC resources; and  

 

• Enhance the protection of on-premise networks from compromised GC resources in the cloud.
