Google today [announced a new seven-figure contract with DoD’s Defense Innovation Unit](https://techcrunch.com/2020/05/20/google-cloud-earns-defense-contract-win-for-anthos-multi-cloud-management-tool/) (DIU). “While the company would not get specific about the number, the new contract involves using Anthos, the tool the company announced last year to secure DIU’s multi-cloud environment,” reports TechCrunch. From the report:

_In spite of the [JEDI contract](https://yro.slashdot.org/story/19/10/26/0151216/microsoft-beats-amazon-to-win-the-pentagons-10-billion-jedi-cloud-contract) involving a single vendor, the DoD has always used solutions from all three major cloud vendors – Amazon, Microsoft and Google – and this solution will provide a way to monitor security across all three environments, according to the company. “Multi-cloud is the future. The majority of commercial businesses run multi-cloud environments securely and seamlessly, and this is now coming to the federal government as well,” Mike Daniels, VP of Global Public Sector at Google Cloud told TechCrunch._

 

_The idea is to manage security across three environments with help from cloud security vendor Netskope, which is also part of the deal. “The multi-cloud solution will be built on Anthos, allowing DIU to run web services and applications across Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft Azure – while being centrally managed from the Google Cloud Console,” the company wrote in a statement. Daniels says that while this is a deal with DIU, he could see it expanding to other parts of DoD. “This is a contract with the DIU, but our expectation is that the DoD will look at the project as a model for how to implement their own security posture.”_
