USG and military have access to different select portfolios of Amazon and Microsoft Azure service depending on the data said system stores (classified, not, PII, PHI and for whom) and how it must be secured by USG or DoD regulations.

Amazon was the first and only answer. Ironically Azure Gov and DoD are catching up.

There is indeed truth to it. The cloud in the deal you mentioned is open to all IC agencies and not just the CIA.
