The U.S. Navy on Monday awarded Amazon.com Inc’s cloud computing unit a five-year, $723.9 million enterprise software license contract, Reuters reported.
The blanket purchase agreement for enterprise software licenses provides the Department of the Navy with access to Amazon Web Services’ commercial cloud environment, AWS Professional Services and AWS training and certification courses. The contract runs for up to five years, from December 2022 to December 2028.
Earlier this month, the Pentagon awarded $9 billion worth of cloud contracts to Google, AWS, Microsoft Corp. and Oracle Corp. as part of the Joint Warfighting Cloud Capabilities contract.
