The Cloud & Infrastructure Community of Practice (C&I CoP) is chartered under the Federal Chief Information Officers (CIO) Council and supported by the General Services Administration’s (GSA) IT Modernization Division. The C&I CoP is designed for federal IT practitioners who want to network with other agencies to learn about common cloud, infrastructure and IT challenges and best practices.
Any federal employee or mission-supporting contractor is welcome to become a member of the C&I CoP. Members can attend monthly community meetings, participate in working groups, attend in-person conferences and virtual training courses, and connect with their peers through the CoP’s listserv.
Members are invited to our monthly meetings to share insights and success stories or ask questions and gain knowledge from their peers on the following topics:
The C&I CoP uses the listserv below to notify members of meetings, training sessions, and other collaboration opportunities:
The C&I CoP’s Connect.gov page is the main repository of CoP information. Find past presentations, information about upcoming meetings, and other CoP-specific resources. You must have a federal government (.gov or .mil) email address to access the C&I CoP connect page.
The Cloud & Infrastructure Community of Practice also sponsors focused sub communities of practice based on the current IT modernization needs of the federal government.
Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) Subcommunity of Practice
According to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Memorandum M-21-07 [PDF], “the strategic intent is for the federal government to deliver its information services, operate its networks, and access the services of others using only IPv6.”
GSA and the IT Modernization Division assume the role of Program Manager for the Federal IPv6 Task Force. This task force hosts bi-monthly interagency meetings to share knowledge, common challenges, and best practices for implementing IPv6-only networks. Visit our team site here: IPv6 Task Force

IT Sustainability Subcommunity of Practice
A sustainable IT environment provides material benefit to federal agencies and taxpayers through reduced energy costs and improved resiliency of federal infrastructure. Estimated global IT-related greenhouse gas emissions range from 2.1% to 3.9% of total CO2 emissions. Awareness is the first step in understanding the complex interplay between our technology and implementation decisions and our stewardship of the environment. The IT Sustainability Subcommunity of Practice (ITS Sub CoP) convenes quarterly to discuss fostering a sustainable environment within the federal government.
