Not especially. Government has largely predictable load, and hosting on third parties is eyewateringly expensive (only approved suppliers, who overcharge).

In jurisdictions I’m familiar with it would require (nearly impossible) reform of the bureaucracy to make it possible.

I was involved with a replatforming project in a state government that failed expensively.

I lasted six months before I left. It was infuriating and depressing.

I think with enough money the nearly impossible bureaucracy reform could be possible.
