We examined several options that Azure afforded us. This presented a challenge for us as to how systems developed in the Commercial Cloud could be brought into the relatively highly secure unclassified on-prem environment, and thereafter be promoted to the even more secure classified network. One major requirement has been that the application would eventually be hosted on-prem at the DoD facility, both on the unclassified and classified network. These enabled us to develop features at a pretty rapid pace and get early and frequent feedback from the customers. Features are planned, prioritized for sprints and delivered using Agile Planning, TFVC (Team Foundation Server Version Control) repos, Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery using DevTest capabilities. The planning, coding, and build/test and deployment of the pilot application has been staged on the Commercial Cloud using Azure DevOps to ensure that our planning and development efforts could proceed unrestrained by resources constraints typically experienced on DoD premises. Through this effort, we are aiming to showcase the capabilities of leveraging a Hybrid Cloud environment for agile, cost-effective and efficient application lifecycle management required for many of the DoD’s legacy applications.

The goal is to rewrite a pilot legacy application, modernize it for the cloud and take advantages full advantages of Azure DevOps to enable agility in planning, development, build and deployment.

In this post, Premier Field Engineer JJ Jacob explains how The Department of Defense (DoD) achieve their code deployment policies with Azure DevOps.Īs a Premier Field Engineer working in the DoD space, I have been part of a team that has been charged with enabling Application Modernization of a legacy application for scheduling.
