From the azure post you link:

> authorized for use with up to High Impact level data

That's not "Secret" or "Top secret"

AWS govcloud has existed for HI for ages; this announcement is specifically for "Secret" classified data.

You misunderstand. The reasons you mention were the reasons I posted those links.

FedRAMP has multiple levels. Don't conflate the FedRAMP authorizations solely with marketing terms.
