Ho Chi Minh City: 100% of government agencies will use cloud computing platforms by 2030

*Ho Chi Minh City has set specific goals in converting to using cloud computing platforms in the period 2025 - 2030.*

Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee has just issued Plan No. 131/KH-UBND on implementing the national action program on developing and converting to using cloud computing platforms (CCP) in the period 2025 - 2030.

The City People's Committee has identified the cloud computing platform as a strategic and prerequisite platform that must be prioritized and used in the digital transformation revolution and the development of artificial intelligence. At the same time, it must be associated with ensuring information security, network security, and data protection.

Ho Chi Minh City has set a goal that by 2030, basically 100% of state agencies will prioritize the deployment of new information systems and information technology (IT) services on the city's own cloud computing platform (if qualified); classify and convert at least 70% of the city's existing information systems and IT services (in order of priority if qualified) to the cloud computing environment.

Ho Chi Minh City also set a target that by 2030, 100% of state agencies, units, and state-owned enterprises will use cloud computing services provided by domestic enterprises.

To achieve the above objectives, the Department of Science and Technology will regularly coordinate with the Center for Innovation and Application of Cloud Computing Technology to deploy national databases (ND) on the ND infrastructure of the ND Center; coordinate with national multi-purpose data centers and regional multi-purpose data centers using the ND platform according to Decision No. 36/QD-TTg dated January 11, 2024 of the Prime Minister.
