How are Federal Agencies Implementing DevOps & System Modernization

Written by Derek Weeks | November 29, 2016

As government agencies seek to become more innovative and agile, they’re embracing DevOps practices and open source software to rapidly and efficiently develop higher quality applications. These agencies must ensure the components they are using are reliable and free of vulnerabilities.

Sonatype and Coveros have partnered to share how a bureau of the Department of Homeland Security worked to modernize a mission critical system by defining an initial DevOps tool chain with open source technologies - supported by software supply chain risk management practices.
