We are pleased to announce the general availability of MongoDB Atlas for Government, which is an independent environment of our flagship cloud product MongoDB Atlas that’s built for US government needs. It will allow federal, state, and local governments as well as educational institutions to build and iterate faster using a modern database-as-a-service platform. The service is available in AWS GovCloud (US) and AWS US East/West regions.
We are also pleased to announce that MongoDB Atlas for Government has been approved as FedRAMP Ready. FedRAMP Ready indicates that a third-party assessment organization has vouched for a cloud service provider’s security capabilities, and the FedRAMP PMO has reviewed and approved the Readiness Assessment Report.
