Across the world, governments are trying to present, in the best possible way, their government services to citizens. Using the new technology is paramount to reduce this interaction through effective and efficient services. Cloud Computing is a computing concept that is formed from the aggregation and development architecture such as SOA. Its purpose is to provide resources for communication and storage in a secure environment based on the service as quickly as possible, which is virtually implemented, via Internet access. As the services provided by the e-Government are available via the Internet, so the benefits of Cloud Computing can be used in the implementation of e-Government architecture to provide better service with the least economic cost. Many countries have attempted to implement the e-Government based on the functionality provided by Cloud Computing, some of these countries have achieved remarkable success, and others have confronted difficult to make it worked. This article will explore the use of Cloud Computing in e-Government, identify challenges and benefits of this use, and finish with benchmarking countries that have followed this approach.
