The Joint Warfighter Cloud Capability is intended to give military personnel access to unclassified, secret and top-secret data wherever they are in the world. Announced last year, the project replaced the Defense Department’s previous award, then known as JEDI. That $10 billion contract was issued solely to Microsoft but was canceled in the face of legal challenges from losing bidder Amazon."
