February 12, 2019 | 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM

In fiscal 2018, federal agencies made unprecedented investments in information technology, with spending in key markets poised to grow in 2019 and beyond. Join BGOV’s Federal Market Analyst, Chris Cornillie, as he breaks down government spending on cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, other transaction agreements (OTAs), and more.

Following Bloomberg Government’s update, Red Hat and Amazon Web Services will discuss how to accelerate application development and delivery for DoD agencies.

Accelerate Application Development and Delivery for DoD Agencies

Today, applications are developed by various vendors to support US military services, all with different requirements that need to be managed by infrastructure. To organize this effort, one DoD department stood up a research and development project designed to deliver more efficient and modern application development to better support the agency’s mission. Learn how the DoD project team leveraged DevOps methodologies using an open source platform, modern application frameworks, and integrated security into software pipelines to deploy apps, manage systems and reduce complexity.

- Cloud services that support an OpenShift Container Platform deployment enabling transformational benefits from day one
- How the DoD is using government specific Cloud Regions to deliver high-impact application transformations on an enterprise level
- How the OpenShift Container Platform and an automated software provisioning/application development program are the service modernization fabric for implementing a DevOps culture – grounded in reuse, collaboration and orchestrated automation.
- Production and programming support is provided by the marketing services team at Bloomberg Government.
