Laut Telefónica wäre eine kurzfristige Verschiebung der 5G-Frequenzauktion sinnvoller gewesen, statt zu riskieren, dass bereits stattgefundene Auktionen rückabgewickelt werden müssen. Auch die Telekom bleibt bei ihrer Rechtsauffassung. (5G, Telekom)

Furthering our commitment to be the most trusted cloud for Government, today Microsoft is proud to announce two milestone achievements in support of the US Department of Defense.
Information Impact Level 5 DoD Provisional Authorization by the Defense Information Systems Agency
Azure Government is the first commercial cloud service to be awarded an Information Impact Level 5 DoD Provisional Authorization by the Defense Information Systems Agency. This provisional authorization allows all US Department of Defense (DoD) customers to leverage Azure Government for the most sensitive controlled unclassified information (CUI), including CUI of National Security Systems.
DoD Authorizing Officials can use this Provisional Authorization as a baseline for input into their authorization decisions on behalf of mission owner systems using the Azure Government cloud DOD Region.
This achievement is the result of the collective efforts of Microsoft, DISA and its mission partners to work through requirements pertaining to the adoption of cloud computing for infrastructure, platform and productivity across the DoD enterprise.
General Availability of DoD Regions
Information Impact Level 5 requires processing in dedicated infrastructure that ensures physical separation of DoD customers from non-DoD customers. Over the past few months, we ran a preview program with more than 50 customers across the Department of Defense, including all branches of the military, unified combatant commands and defense agencies.
We are thrilled to announce the general availability of the DOD Region to all validated DoD customers. Key services covering compute, storage, networking and database are available today with full service level agreements and dedicated Azure Government support.
Dave Milton, Chief Technology Officer for Permuta Technologies, a leading provider of business solutions tailored for the military affirmed the significance of the general availability of the Azure DoD regions, saying:
“Azure Government DOD Regions has given us the ability to deploy our SaaS offering, DefenseReady Cloud, to the US Department of Defense in a scalable, secure, and cost-effective environment. The mission-critical nature of DefenseReady Cloud requires high availability, compliance with DoD’s SRG Impact Level 5 requirements, and scalability to support our customers changing demand, with a flexible pricing structure that allow us to offer capability to large enterprises as well as local commands. With Azure Government DOD Region, we are now able to onboard a customer in weeks, not months, allowing for a time-to-value that is unparalleled when compared with on-premises or other government-sponsored options. Through our partnership, Microsoft provided direct access to product group engineers, compliance support, training, and other resources needed to bring our SaaS solution to DoD.”
These accomplishments and the commentary of our customers and partners further reinforce our commitment to, and the strength of, our long-standing partnership with the US Department of Defense. For more information on Microsoft Cloud for Government services with Information Impact Level 5 provision authorization visit the Microsoft in Government blog, and for more detail on the Information Impact Level 5 Provision authorization (including in-scope services), please visit our Microsoft Trust Center.
To get started today, customers and mission partners may request access to our Azure Government Trial program.

The world of computing goes deep and wide on working on issues related to our environment, economy, energy, and public health systems. These needs require modern, advanced solutions that were traditionally limited to a few organizations, are hard to scale, and take a long time to deliver. Microsoft Azure delivers High Performance Computing (HPC) capability and tools to power solutions that address these challenges integrated into a global-scale cloud platform.
Whether it’s a manufacturer running advanced simulations, an energy company optimizing drilling through real-time well monitoring, or a financial services company using AI to navigate market risk Microsoft’s partnership with NVIDIA makes access to NVIDIA GPUs easier than ever.
Join us in San Jose next week at NVIDIA’s GPU Technology Conference to learn how Azure customers combine the flexibility and elasticity of the cloud with the capability of NVIDIA GPUs. We will share examples of work we’ve done in oil & gas, automotive, artificial intelligence, and much more. Also, be on the lookout for new and exciting integrations between Azure AI and NVIDIA that bring GPU acceleration to more developers.

At DockerCon Copenhagen we launched the Docker Pals program in order to connect attendees and help them make the most out of their trip. Attending a conference for the first time or by yourself can be intimidating and we don’t want anyone to feel that way at DockerCon! Pals get matched with a few others who are new (the “Pals”), and someone who knows their way around (the “Guide”) so you will have a familiar group before you arrive at the conference. Guides help Pals figure out which talks and activities to attend, and are available for questions.
This year we are excited to grow the program, matching more groups and adding Meet-and-Greets throughout the week. You won’t want to miss the best version of Docker Pals yet!
Here’s what Pals had to say about DockerCon Barcelona:
“Docker Pals made my DockerCon experience ten times better and I’ve made friends I hope to see again!”
“Our Guide was very helpful and I really enjoyed meeting other Pals at the conference.”
“[I enjoyed] the fact that even though I was there alone I always had a place to turn for help and fellowship.”
“[Our Guide] made our group super connected and gave us many insights that helped us to get the most out of the conference!”
If you’ve been to DockerCon before, please consider signing up to be a Guide and help welcome those newer to DockerCon to the amazing Docker community. Participating gives you the opportunity to learn more, expand your network, and have more fun!
For More Information:
Log in to your DockerCon registration account to sign up as a Pal or Guide.
