“Aligning to Malaysia’s MyDigital initiative, the government has published a ‘cloud first policy’ circular to provide guidelines for adopting cloud computing tech in the implementation of ICT projects to further improve public service delivery,” said Adi Azlan, principal assistant director of the Malaysian Administrative Modernization and Management Planning Unit.
The deal also allows government agencies to easily procure AWS’ cloud services together with enterprise support.
Among the Malaysian government agencies that are already using AWS include the Department of Polytechnic and Community College Education, the Department of Statistics Malaysia, and the Selangor state government.
