User story

As an FNS stakeholder, I want to understand the different deployment, hosting and maintenance options for the data validation service so that I can deploy it for states and school districts to use in the Fall of 2019.

Acceptance criteria

[x] Assemble information on different hosting options for FNS data validator
[x] Get pricing information from cloud.gov team

2 things that will definitely be need are an ATO (either from the TTS authorizing official, or from FNS) and the identification of funds to cover the cost of hosting / maintenance.

from @amymok:

Here's a reference to cloud.gov info for long term hosting: https://gsa-tts.slack.com/archives/C09CR1Q9Z/p1550098234005200

I started a summary of the different deployment, hosting & maintenance options here.

Pricing options for cloud.gov.

If we assume FISMA Low (will need to verify) then the annual cost for cloud.gov hosting would roughly $25-30k / year. This also assumes 3-9 GB of RAM is sufficient for the FNS data validation service. @amymok is that a reasonable assumption?

@mheadd That looks good to me.
