“We’re thrilled to support the U.S. Air Force in reimagining its
approach to software delivery,” said Tiffanny Gates, AFS Senior
Managing Director, National Security Portfolio and former Novetta
President and CEO. “Through the commercialization of Platform One,
clients across the federal government, as well as industry
partners, will realize immediate value with increased
speed-to-mission and mission assurance.”
Under the innovative agreement, the company along with its
partners Fearless and Spathe Systems, will tailor and deploy both
Big Bang (Infrastructure-as-Code and Configuration-as-Code) and
Iron Bank (container registry) products for government customers
and commercial software vendors alike. Having spearheaded this
groundbreaking effort, the USAF will focus on the baseline and
governance of the Platform One environment.
“Having services sold together with a government approved stack
will prove to be major value-add for the U.S. Air Force through the
creation of a trusted network of system integrators, including
Novetta, that can implement Platform One Big Bang in an approved
and repeatable manner,” said Justin Shirk, AFS Managing Director,
National Security Portfolio, and former Novetta Vice President.
“This agreement also helps independent software vendors outsource
container development, hardening, and maintenance services for Iron
Bank, thus standardizing and accelerating image development and
use.”
Platform One includes a variety of open source, commercial, and
purpose-built software to support container-based, multi-level
DevSecOps software development.
