The government wants to promote the use of cloud platforms among state agencies nationwide, reaching a virtual machine (VM) capacity target of 200,000 by the end of 2025 as demand has skyrocketed.

According to Wisit Wisitsora-at, permanent digital economy and society secretary, most government agencies are still unable to access the state's cloud system, partially due to its limited capacity.

"The government conducted a survey and found that if all state units were pushed to adopt the cloud system, demand would definitely exceed 200,000 VMs, especially when including large systems that are being built gradually, such as the government electronic document system," he said.
