Ah, the great outdoors: a place for nature lovers, tree huggers, and now… cloud aficionados? That’s right, our beloved state government environmental and natural resource agencies are trading in their binoculars for bandwidth as they join the cloud-based revolution. But fear not, dear eco-warriors; this cloud migration isn’t about to rain on your parade.In fact, these agencies are going “cloud-native” in a bid to streamline their operations, up their efficiency game, and take their constituent services to new heights.
