About GCC 2.0

GCC 2.0 was rebuilt from the ground up based on learnings from GCC 1.0 (launched in 2019), new changes include:

1. speeding up the onboarding processes.
2. simplifying service requests.
3. improving time-to-market by tapping on more cloud native services within the platform.
4. revamped processes and service offerings to ease onboarding and procurement of Cloud services.

To drive the adoption of Cloud across Whole-of-Government (WoG), GCC 2.0 was redesigned to leverage on more existing cloud native capabilities and align with the cloud security practices, with one key feature: Policy-as-Code that ensures continuous security compliance for all workloads. In summary, the design of GCC 2.0 platform empowers the entire Singapore Government to enhance the delivery of government digital services with increase speed, cost-effectiveness, and security.

GCC 2.0 for AWS was available on 4 May 2022, while GCC 2.0 for Azure was released on 30 November 2022. This is followed by the launch of GCC 2.0 for GCP on 7 July 2023. GCC will be leveraged as a WOG platform along with the Singapore Government Tech Stack for modern app development.

The next phase of GCC 2.0 aims to provide more services and features that continues to focus on keeping resources compliant and secure, easy to scale, and help improve agencies’ budget planning and cost control. In addition, tools such as Cost Optimisation Dashboard and Sustainability Dashboard will also help WOG gain insights to potential savings opportunities as well as track and improve their sustainability performance.
