Vivek Kundra, Healthcare.gov Failure, Cloud Computing Critique
Former U.S. Chief Technology Officer Vivek Kundra is criticized for his commentary on the technical failures of Healthcare.gov. During a CNN appearance, Kundra suggested the site should have used private sector cloud solutions like Salesforce or Amazon rather than legacy systems. The hosts mock Kundra's "PhD in procurement" and his claim that the site used 800 physical servers for authentication.
