PLAN COMMITMENT
Limited commitment
See general comment at 1.1.2.1.1 (Cloud Training Compute Infrastructure as a Service (public cloud)). Limited government commitment is appropriate given it is a private sector capability. Limited commitment by government in the plan aligns with the recommendation to maintain and monitor. To maintain agency, investment by the private sector will be required.
