Jeff Bezos is just fine taking the Pentagon's $10B JEDI cloud contract

Some tech companies might have a problem taking money from the Department of Defense, but Amazon isn't one of them, as CEO Jeff Bezos made clear today at the Wired25 conference. Just last week, Google pulled out of the running for the Pentagon's $10 billion, 10-year JEDI cloud contract, but Bezos suggested that he was happy to take the government's money. Bezos has been surprisingly quiet about the contract up until now, but his company has certainly attracted plenty of attention from the companies competing for the JEDI deal.
