The Department of Finance and Deregulation has released a draft consultation strategy for the Federal Government's migration to cloud computing.
The underlying objective for the draft cloud strategy is to "develop a pathway for agencies to rationalise their ICT asset base and to adopt cloud computing where appropriate", according to the document.
The migration document details a proposed plan over the next five years to move government agencies' computational requirements into a public cloud environment.
The migration is expected to take between five to six years, starting with moving publicly available information to a public cloud environment.
"Finance will transition AGIMO public-facing websites to the public cloud (for example, initial implementations may be: www.data.australia.gov.au, www.data.gov.au and www.govspace.gov.au)," Finance said.
The document points out, however, that migrating private citizen data to the public cloud would not be an option in the near future due to security concerns.
