Amazon Web Services has signed a new Cloud Framework Agreement (CFA) with the Malaysian government, together with local IT provider and AWS Partner Radmik Solutions Sdn Bhd, in efforts to help accelerate cloud adoption in the public sector.

The CFA enables Radmik Solutions, an IT systems integrator and technology service provider in Malaysia, to provide consulting and technology services to government agencies. AWS is the first international cloud service provider to have concluded and signed a CFA with the Malaysian government, as part of its long-term commitment to supporting Malaysia’s digital transformation.

With this, Malaysia’s government agencies and departments can now access AWS Cloud services through a streamlined procurement model, the CFA removes the administrative overhead for individual agencies and departments through favourable, pre-negotiated contract terms and conditions.

AWS will offer all access to any of its 84 availability zones spanning 26 geographic regions around the world, without having to negotiate separate contract terms enabling to leverage the breadth and depth of more than 200 fully-featured AWS Cloud services, including AWS’s security capabilities, global infrastructure, and comprehensive security and compliance controls validated by third-party.
