+# 6. Cloud.gov
+
+Date: 2022-08-12
+
+## Status
+
+Accepted
+
+## Context
+
+We need a place to run our application for the registrar. Cloud.gov is a FIMSA Moderate Fedramped solution that supports our language and framework selections.
+
+## Decision
+
+To use cloud.gov to host our application(s). 
+
+## Consequences
+
+Choosing cloud.gov for our solution means we are locked into its opinionated choices for our infrastructure. It forces us to run 12-factor applications. It doesn't support brokering for services we may need like email notifications. 
+
+It also means the compliance lift is much lighter. We do not need to prove we are compliance for the majority of our infrastructure and our runtime enviornment.
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+Run our application on in either CISA's Azure or AWS environment with a continerized deployment.
