# 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 FISMA Moderate FedRAMP'd 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 assisted by its opinionated choices for our infrastructure. For example, it forces us to run 12-factor applications.
* It doesn't support brokering for services we may need like email notifications.
* The compliance lift is lighter. We can inherit Cloud.gov's controls 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 containerized deployment.
