President's Management Agenda, the U.S. Government has committed to 
modernize legacy technology and leverage leading practices from 
industry to improve citizen services, reduce operational costs, and 
enhance the security of the Federal enterprise. The 2018 Federal Cloud 
Computing Strategy, ``Cloud Smart,'' an update of the original Cloud 
approach, addresses gaps in previous guidance, embraces new 
capabilities, and provides an end-to-end strategy to accelerate 
transformation. This new, transformative strategy focuses on three key 
inter-related areas--security, procurement, and workforce--necessary to 
drive cloud adoption through building knowledge in government and 
removing burdensome policy barriers. This strategy will be available 
for review and public comment at https://cloud.cio.gov/.
