Deploying an OpenShift Application in the AWS GovCloud - In Person!

THIS IS THE IN-PERSON EVENT. To attend virtually, RSVP to https://www.meetup.com/phillyjug/events/286994782

Learn about the challenges we faced deploying a Java/Spring Boot/OpenShift Application in the AWS GovCloud. I talk about FedRAMP High compliance and the additional challenges that brought. Learn about FIPS compliance and the implications of using CoreOS for OpenShift. I tell a story about starting with a heavily open source based application and converting that to FedRAMP High compliance. I discuss some lessons learned and provide a list of things to think about early so they do not delay your project later.
