Cloud services

Cloud services can be an effective solution for hosting applications, meeting computing needs and accessing low-touch software as a service solutions.

Depending on your specific requirements, you can choose from a variety of cloud options:

Private cloud

Build and deploy applications on the B.C. government’s private cloud, a reliable and secure application hosting platform for deploying and running government services. 

Powered by the Red Hat® OpenShift® Container Platform.  

Public cloud

Build and deploy applications with pay-as-you-go public cloud hosting services. Current cloud service providers include Amazon Web Services (AWS). Only available for B.C government ministry teams.

Software as a service (SaaS)

SaaS are online tools that support your work and processes.

You can use pre-built cloud software to facilitate communication, business processes and Agile delivery. 

Includes popular tools like Mural and Jira.
