Where does it say test/dev has to be done solely in a cloud data center? This bit For the purposes of this memorandum, rooms with at least one server, providing services (whether in a production, test, stage, development, or any other environment), are considered data centers. seems to be more about trying to close the self-reporting loophole - ie 'these aren't the droids you're looking for.' for example - https://github.com/WhiteHouse/datacenters/issues/9
Sigh, read any Inspector General report for how memorandums are implemented by auditors. If the memorandum says "or any other environment" the IG's will treat that as no exceptions.
So IG's will "close the reporting loophole" by reporting that their are 100,000 "data centers" if a room contains even a single server.
Auditors like counting things, they don't like interpretations. Inspector Generals are uber-auditors.
