Federal Cyber Experts Thought Microsoft’s Cloud Was “a Pile of Shit.” They Approved It Anyway.

CLOUD is such a fucking rip off!! Anyone with any sense can see that.

My favorite part of Amazon’s Web Service is AWS Outposts.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

They will put the AWS cloud in your data center.

You will rent AWS servers and the rack they sit in. You will administer them, power and cool them, handle all the connectivity to the servers and you get to run all the software…

It is such a fucking rip off.

They do that because there are some things that you can’t put in the cloud, like HIPAA protected data. It’s absolutely a rip off, but that was their solution.

You absolutely can store HIPAA data in the cloud.

Latency is one of the big selling points for Outposts. They have customers wanting to control industrial equipment from their cloud resources, but the nearest AWS region is too far away to provide the low latency connectivity they need. With Outposts, they get the cloud, but with on-prem network latency.

HIPAA Compliance

Entities subject to HIPAA compliance can use AWS to process, maintain, and store protected health information. Learn how AWS can help your business.

Amazon Web Services, Inc.
There is no certification process in place for using a cloud to store HIPAA data. It even says that on the page that you linked. Legally, any organization that used this service would be opening themselves to further liability under HIPAA.

Tell that to literally every hospital, medical provider, and insurer in the United States.

They’re all using AWS, and OneDrive.

That’s news to me. Every time to vendor tries to get me to switch to their cloud product I tell them to get lost. I’m not willingly handing over patient data to these clowns, I’ve seen how bad they are at security.
