The Israeli government has signed an agreement with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google for a project worth more than $ 1 billion to provide cloud services to the public sector and the country's military, Reuters reported.

Treasury officials said they expect to start migrating data to the cloud in about two months, but it won't be a centralized system as there are two providers and some data won't be in the cloud.

The four phases of the project include the acquisition and creation of cloud infrastructure, the formulation of government policies for cloud migration, integration and migration, and the control and optimization of cloud activity.

The ministry said Nimbus is a multi-year project designed to provide an end-to-end solution for delivering cloud services to government, defense and other economic groups.

Under the terms of the deal, Google and Amazon undertake to carry out mutual purchases and industrial cooperation in Israel in the amount of 20% of the contract value.
