5 WorldView- 3 Introducing the 1 st multi- payload, super- spectral, high- resolution commercial satellite. 5

6 Digital Globe Business Challenge Launch WorldView- 4 Satellite Digital Globe s WorldView- 4 satellite is scheduled to launch in late 2016 As part of that effort Evolve our Ground System to support current best of breed architecture including: -Microservice Architecture -Cloud- Enabled / Cloud Agnostic (PaaS) 6

7 What s a Ground System? Satellite Downlink Ground System Backhaul Ground Terminal Customer Ordering Mission Planning Mission Control Delivery Production Inventory & Content Mgmt. 7

8 Technical Decision Process Survey of the available PaaS alternatives Created knockout criteria Down- Select CF chosen as leading candidate Performed tasks to verify criteria met e.g. upgraded PCF release while measuring uptime of platform services Migrated DG sample Java, Ruby and Python services & verify portability across multiple environments Built pricing and staffing models 8

9 Technical Decision Process To achieve a large (and critical) task in a short period of time: Challenge the status quo Make Scrum teams autonomous (from each other and from IT as much as possible) Expand the concept and use of End- to- End testing / demonstration Focus on alignment of Scrum teams by work product (domains) not by technology Goal Rapid development with minimal drag Continuous Integration Automated Deployment Pipeline Environmental Parity Burstable Environment: Elasticity/Multi- Platform (Cloud Enablement) Microservice enablement Process / Product / Technology Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) DevOps & Cloud Foundry Jenkins Cloud Foundry Build Packs Cloud Foundry / Moab HPC Well defined interfaces / Pragmatic arch. 9

10 Adoption Cultural Challenges Can t we put off this PaaS thingy seems bleeding edge Don t change it now - I just got my head wrapped around the old one Let s do this on a toy project It s open, but is it really open?

11 Adoption Technical Challenges Microservice Microservice Monolith Microservice Microservice Microservice Microservice Microservice Microservice

12 Why Cloud Foundry??????????

13 Architecture Application Patterns Platform as a Service (PaaS) Cloud Foundry Services Applications Service Wrapper Service Wrapper 1 Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) VMWare, OpenStack, AWS Workflow ERP Sat. Sched. 2 Hardware (Internal or External) HPC Crypto 3 # Pattern Identification

14 Path to Adoption 1. Develop One Service 2. Small Team Pioneers 3. Initial Build Out

15 Progress / Accomplishments to date: Created Template Microservice (Event Svc) Created OAuth2 security framework leveraging UAA Leverage Template Microservice to implement two End- to- End demonstrations composed of multiple services and worflow Extended initial Java framework to Python and Ruby for consistency Jenkins- based CI/CD pipeline Training workshops (Governance, CF, Jenkins, etc.) 15

16 Move to Self- Provisioning and everyone is happier Legacy Environment Application Development Infrastructure App. Config & Deployment

17 Move to Self- Provisioning and everyone is happier New Architecture Environment App Development DevOps Tool Chain and Automation Infrastructure (Hardware and IaaS)
