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.

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.
