M365 Gov Community Call Notes

This month brought special guests Amie Seisay (LinkedIn), DC-area O365 and SharePoint solution provider, and Matthew Littleton (LinkedIn), Global Advanced Compliance Specialist at Microsoft.
In our inaugural episode we tried to focus on Microsoft Ignite, but as the Government Community is used to, there were not a lot of GCC, GCC-H, or DOD announcements last week. So, after a brief "what was cool and exciting" segment (have you seen Mesh? or Viva? And yes, we're assured Viva for GCC is ... on the way), we moved on to Government News from February and March. Here's a list of topics and some related links, to make sure you caught everything!
- Understanding Compliance
- History of M365 Government Cloud
- DFARS for DIB support
- Availability Zones
- Teams "What's New for Gov"
- Apps in Teams Meetings for Gov
- 142 new FedRAMP High services
- When is AIP classic interface going to be deprecated in Gov?
- Information about CMMC Compliance Templates
