KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2022

This session is a case study on using Kubernetes for the US National Capital Region’s Identity and Access Management System (IAMS), managed by Fairfax County VA. IAMS provides secure access to applications for first responders and public safety personnel in the DC region. This session will walk through IAMS’ ten year journey from “virtual appliances'', to trying docker containers, and ultimately implementing Kubernetes. The case study will cover the program’s journey and how it managed issues around automation, scalability, and cost. The case study will work through how the program approached automating builds, updating dependencies, moving from stateful log management to stateless log management and the program’s move to GitOps covering how it manages multiple environments and secrets. Finally, the case study will also address the challenges in particular to building an automated system in a public safety environment where there is a diverse mix of cloud native and legacy systems.
