The Cloud Account Management service offers access to Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) services via simplified ordering and provisioning of an Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Google Cloud Platform (GCP) cloud account, as well as account and billing management.
Cloud platforms such as AWS and GCP support the Stanford computing community through the delivery of online services including servers, storage, computing power, and content delivery. University IT (UIT) has established relationships with Amazon and Google in order to provide favorable terms and pricing for our clients.
Features
Each cloud provider offers different services as part of their infrastructure platform accounts. By using the Stanford-provided ordering process to create an account with Amazon or a project with Google, you will be included in Stanford's enterprise agreements with Amazon Web Services and with Google Platform Services, which provides the following benefits:
Designed for
AWS accounts are available to faculty, staff and students with a valid PTA.
GCP projects are available to faculty, staff and students with a valid PTA.
Azure Cloud Services are available to faculty, staff and students with a valid PTA.
Data security
AWS and GCP are suitable for Low, Moderate and High Risk Data and all AWS and GCP service offerings are available for use.
Stanford University has Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) in place for both AWS and GCP, enabling all Stanford users to use AWS for Protected Health Information (PHI). The BAA specifies improved terms and also covers requirements related to the use and disclosure of PHI, appropriate safeguards to protect PHI, individual rights, and administrative responsibilities.
AWS and GCP are authorized for use with High Risk Data and PHI ONLY when the AWS account or GCP project is in compliance with the Minimum Security Standards and any other regulatory requirements and a Data Risk Assessment is completed. By submitting a request for an AWS account or GCP project, you agree to adhere to the Minimum Security Standards for Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and Containerized Solutions and the Administrative Guide Section 6.3.1: Information Security.
If PHI data is used, a few AWS services cannot be used, but most AWS service offerings are available for PHI and most GCP service offerings are available for PHI under the respective Stanford BAAs.
