SAIC Shares Military Grade Kubernetes Best Practices for Digital Transformation

Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) is a $7.2 billion technology integrator that provides highly secure engineering and IT modernization solutions to government, defense, space, civilian and intelligence clients. With Kubernetes becoming pervasive across U.S. military and government agencies, SAIC needed a better way to deploy Kubernetes and support add-ons for clients that include the U.S. Department of Defense and intelligence communities.

As a system integrator needing to create highly secure, mission-critical solutions for its clients, SAIC required a repeatable process and secure platform that could be quickly and easily deployed. SAIC chose to partner with D2iQ for its unique ability to simplify Kubernetes and advanced cloud-native deployments. By partnering with D2iQ, SAIC obtained a production-ready solution that could be deployed in minutes rather than weeks and months, and that provided military-grade security for highly classified environments.

Adopting the D2iQ Kubernetes Platform (DKP) as the basis for its Kubernetes deployments enabled SAIC to simplify deployment, improve consistency in terms of governance and federation, avoid one-offs to improve repeatability and scalability and meet customer demands through a resilient and easily extensible Kubernetes foundation.

In this webinar, you'll learn insider tips and best practices for:

• Evaluating and selecting a Kubernetes platform that is easily manageable and can accommodate continual innovation that arises from the open-source community
• Eliminating Day-2 operational barriers that include security, observability, stability, upgradeability, resilience and governance
• Overcoming Kubernetes skills gaps
• Establishing a Kubernetes foundation for smart cloud-native applications, including AI, edge and IoT deployments
• Ensuring and maintaining military-grade Kuberntes security across all environments–including cloud, multi-cloud, on-premise, edge and air-gapped
