Additional Azure Services Now Available in Azure Government Cloud

To help you comply with national, regional, and industry-specific requirements governing the collection, storage and use of controlled data, Microsoft offers a comprehensive set of certifications and attestations. Microsoft enterprise cloud services are independently validated through certifications and attestations, as well as third-party audits. You can see a comprehensive list of Microsoft certifications in the Compliance section of the Microsoft Trust Center.

With that said, I’d like to share some good news for our Azure Government customers. In the last few weeks we’ve heard a lot of you ask if we could keep you up to date on the release of Azure services to the Azure Government cloud. Your wish is our command!

Check out these services that are now available in Azure Government:

• Azure App Service: Web Apps
• Azure Key Vault
• D-Series Azure Virtual Machines for Azure Virtual Machines (Azure IaaS), Azure Cloud Services, and web/worker roles
• Azure Site Recovery
• Azure Automation
• Azure Backup
• Azure Role-Based Access Control Preview using Azure PowerShell

For more information and details on these new services in the Azure Government cloud, check out Matt Rathbun’s article Microsoft Cloud for Government extends leadership in compliance with FedRAMP High, CJIS expansion and DISA Impact Levels 4 and Level 5 investments on the Azure Blog.

Thanks!
