The MoDs.

The Army has (or maybe had?) it's own D/Cs in a couple of locations even >10 years ago, and all "cloud" projects were being migrated to servers there - not cloud in the way we tend to think of it, so much as genericised hosting, with workloads in VMs rather than tied to hardware.

Consultants might suggest spinning stuff up in AWS, but the services won't generally be happy with that. What you do see, though, is some level of infighting about whether it should be the Army, Navy or RAF who get the prestige of hosting anything that's used cross-service (logistics systems, obviously are one of those)
