Defence reveals cost of fledgling Secret cloud


Canberra-based Vault Cloud will be paid $15 million to deliver the beginnings of Defence’s Secret cloud environment as the search for a hyperscaler capable of delivering redundancy for business-critical applications continues.

Overdue details of the five-year “cloud services” contract with the sovereign cloud provider were revealed by the department late last week – seven months after it was signed – following questions from InnovationAus.com.

The contract, which comes as Defence looks to add Google Cloud or Oracle into the Secret cloud mix, is the Canberra-based company’s second largest to date across the federal government.
