Cloud & Platform Engineering
Cloud and Platform Engineering for Defense and Federal Programs
Secure, scalable cloud and Kubernetes platforms on AWS, AWS GovCloud (US) and Azure.
We build and operate the cloud platforms that government software runs on, with infrastructure as code, and design them to move between cloud, private cloud and local environments when they have to.
What We Build
Platform engineering for federal and DoW programs, such as Army ECMA / cArmy on AWS and Azure.
Cloud platforms: secure, scalable environments on AWS, AWS GovCloud (US) and Azure.
Kubernetes platform engineering: Amazon EKS, AKS and OpenShift clusters, including long-lived shared-services clusters and on-demand clusters per event.
Infrastructure as code: Terraform, Ansible and GitOps, so environments are repeatable and come online quickly.
Zero Trust–aligned networking: service mesh with workload identity and mutual TLS securing traffic between clusters.
Cloud migration: moving legacy components to containerized, cloud-native services.
Data platforms: event-driven architectures, data streaming and analytics workloads, with metrics and dashboards.
In Practice
Platforms Our Engineers Run
Selected work from our Program Experience.
U.S. Army · via GDMS
Next Generation Constructive (NGC)
A platform-services cluster for shared simulation services plus exercise-specific clusters provisioned on demand, on ECMA / cArmy (AWS).
U.S. Army · via GDMS
CPM Plus Training Data Streaming
A reusable change-data-capture pattern, with one infrastructure-as-code template giving each training rotation its own isolated environment.
U.S. Army · via CESI
Synthetic Training Environment (STE)
OpenShift migration, Kafka metrics and Grafana dashboards that made system readiness visible to the program team.
Defense and federal work is delivered as a subcontractor or team member; the company we work through is named on Program Experience.
