The U.K. government has been aggressively encouraging the adoption of cloud technologies. Several government initiatives, such as the G-Cloud Framework and the Cloud First policy, to leverage cloud computing to improve efficiency, enhance services, and drive innovation in the public sector, are boosting the adoption of cloud computing in the country.
For instance, since 2013, the government of the U.K. has been pursuing the "Cloud First" policy, which was last updated in June 2023. According to the policy, public sector organizations should always choose the public cloud as their first option when acquiring new or existing services, only turning to other options in cases where this is impractical.
While the strategy is mandatory for the central government, the larger public sector has also been recommended to adopt it, which bodes well for the growth of the U.K. cloud computing market.
