Eric Mosher – Scaling DevOps at the NSA
Like many large public sector organizations, the National Security Agency (NSA) had a volunteer-led source code repository running on old hardware. Through a team of passionate developers, the NSA developed a public-private partnership with GitLab and Amazon Web Services (AWS). Through this partnership, NSA migrated from on-premises hardware to AWS. This effort involved refactoring a non-version controlled environment to a version controlled, fully automated deployment strategy using Infrastructure-as-Code. The migration leveraged AWS managed services to drastically improve the reliability of the service, in order to provide the performance and stability the NSA’s mission requires. Join this talk to learn about NSA’s DevOps journey and the technology they used along the way.
