## Description

DWP continues to transition both its internal and citizen facing OFFICIAL application workloads to strategic public Hyperscale Cloud hosting arrangements\. These strategic arrangements deliver great benefits in the running of DWP applications, as the workloads increase by: • Providing high availability - as part of DWP's World Class Service • Providing flexibility - in commissioning at pace, computing and storage capacity for supporting on-going development and maintenance of applications \(standing up and down such capacity to reflect the business demand profiles\) • Providing price flexibility - using on-demand pricing, where we pay for compute and storage capacity \(increase or decrease\) in line with business usage or by using reserved pricing where capacity usage is predictable for specific applications\.
