Amazon Web Services will offer up to $1 billion in discounts to United States federal agencies for cloud services, modernisation, and training through 2028, the General Services Administration announced Thursday.

The deal aims to accelerate cloud migration and the use of artificial intelligence across government agencies.

“AWS’s partnership with GSA demonstrates a shared public-private commitment to enhancing America’s AI leadership,” the agency said in a release.

Amazon’s cloud chief, Matt Garman, called the agreement a “significant milestone in the large-scale digital transformation of government services.”

The $1 billion in aggregated discounts includes credits for AWS cloud infrastructure, modernisation programs, training services, and incentives for direct partnerships with agencies.

The GSA had previously struck a similar deal with Oracle and, just this week, announced an agreement with OpenAI to provide federal agencies access to ChatGPT for $1 over the next year.
