Case Study: Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services accelerates cloud governance with Cloudtamer.io

Helping the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Leverage the Modern Cloud

Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) needed a better way to govern its growing AWS cloud environment while supporting application teams across Medicare, Medicaid, and the Health Insurance Exchanges. The agency wanted to speed up account provisioning, improve leadership visibility into cloud usage and budgets, and ensure strong compliance with regulations like FedRAMP and HIPAA. To address these needs, CMS turned to cloudtamer.io for cloud governance across account management, budget enforcement, and compliance automation.

cloudtamer.io helped CMS automate account creation, centralize cost visibility, and enforce security policies consistently across AWS accounts. The solution reduced user account provisioning from several weeks to a couple of days, improved cost reporting and forecasting, and helped lower cloud operations workload by automating governance tasks. CMS also saw fewer cost overruns and compliance issues, while gaining a scalable foundation for future AWS growth and faster ATO processes for GovCloud workloads.
