“In light of the recent legislation signed by President Biden making FedRAMP a preferred accreditation program for cloud access in civilian agencies, we continue to be a Premier Tier Services Partner in the AWS Partner Network,” said Rick Rosenburg, Vice President and General Manager, Rackspace Government Solutions. “We are excited to continue our work as a consulting partner with Authority to Operate on AWS for FedRAMP services.”
