WASHINGTON \u2014 The U.S. Department of Defense picked Amazon, Google, Microsoft and Oracle for a consquential cloud computing deal worth as much as $9 billion, more than one year after it abandoned a similar effort known as JEDI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity selections for the Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability<\/a>, or JWCC, were made public Wednesday in a list of contracts published by the Pentagon. All four companies were initially invited to compete for the deal in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cloud capability is meant to link the military\u2019s most remote edge with its farthest headquarters, bridging unclassified, secret and top-secret classifications. No such ability now exists, officials say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JWCC is seen as the successor to the Pentagon\u2019s failed Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure endeavor<\/a>, or JEDI, which was awarded to Microsoft alone and was ultimately ditched in July 2021. The cancellation came amid a feud between Amazon and the Trump administration, which the company accused of tainting the $10 billion contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
