This research delves into the developments, in cloud computing and their significance for e government. It introduces an approach to e government advancement known as "Electronic Governmental Cloud (e-GCloud) " aimed at addressing identified issues and meeting the requirements of cloud computing. The study will conduct a review of existing literature and online sources analyzing studies and articles on the evolving landscape of cloud computing to elucidate its role in e government applications. It aims to outline the deployment strategy for cloud computing in e government settings and propose a novel governmental framework called "e- GCloud” designed as an exclusive private cloud community for national governments use. Additionally, this research, evaluates factors influencing the integration of cloud computing into e government systems by drawing insights from senior government officials and IT personnel within governmental entities. The results suggest that e-GCloud outperforms in applications due, to its enhanced flexibility, resource availability and prompt responsiveness.
