General Session

In May 2022, the Malaysia government launched a new government hybrid cloud service, MyGovCloud. The platform aims to integrate private cloud services from its Public Sector Data Centre with private cloud services onboarded through a standardised Cloud Framework Agreement. 

This session will seek to evaluate the current success of MyGovCloud and what government agencies can do to make full use of the opportunities available. It will bring together key stakeholders from the public sector, technology providers, and cloud computing experts to sieve out the challenges surrounding hybrid cloud adoption thus far, explore possible solutions, and determine how a new era for cloud services will usher in new possibilities for public service delivery and enhance the wellbeing of the rakyat.
