I apologize but browsing first thing in the morning, was I the only one who assumed this was a joke?

You are not alone. I Still question how much of a good idea that is. It certainly makes it self a popular target for attacks by default.

This is the only government website I have seen that does not look like it was designed in the 90's. It is pleasant to look at.

Actually, there are several FedRAMP PaaS' available to agencies. A quick look at https://www.fedramp.gov/marketplace/compliant-systems/ lists several compliant PaaS offerings, including one (Autonomic Resources LLC – ARCWRX) based on OpenShift. It's great to see activity in this space.

Correct - Multiple PaaS providers have reached FedRAMP already: http://www.fedramp.gov/marketplace/compliant-systems/blackme... http://www.fedramp.gov/marketplace/compliant-systems/autonom... Both built on Red Hat OpenShift

Acquia is FedRAMP accredited as well. Acquia is optimized for Drupal. Drupal now powers 40% of .gov sites in the US (and growing). It's a fully managed and supported platform, which offers not only the CLI integrations that developers appreciate but accessible, responsive GUI DevOps tools and 24/7/365 application support.

This is totally a minor thing, but I feel like the icons halfway down the page are off-by-one: http://i.imgur.com/bXTZqOZ.png That is, the arrowbox thingie for scalability, the lock for security, etc?

Good eyes, will see if we can fix that.

Thanks for reporting! I opened this issue to make sure we fix it: https://github.com/18F/cg-landing/issues/70

Hi Bret, long time fan-first time commenter! In the govFresh excerpt that led me here you state the 'Federal compliance for a cloud service provider is a tough bar to clear'. Have you discovered the data policy map is in line with US corporate standards (e.g. Microsoft data security) or separate and distinct? I'd like to understand to what degree.gov innovation into the cloud is at parity with existing, more public facing standards or rewriting what we know and observe today.

Haven't read every comment but a quick ctrl+f didn't find any keywords on the topic;) thanks for the insight!
