PLATFORM ONE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
Customer DevSecOps Platform (DSOP)
Platform One’s DSOP is a collection of approved, hardened Cloud Native Computer Foundation (CNCF)-compliant Kubernetes distributions, infrastructure as code playbooks, and hardened containers. This collection implements the Platform One DevSecOps platform that is compliant with the DoD Enterprise DevSecOps Reference Design, and its source code is hosted on Repo One.
- Platform One IaC: https://repo1.dso.mil/platform-one
- LevelUP IaC: https://repo1.dso.mil/levelup-automation
- D2IQ Konvoy: https://repo1.dso.mil/platform-one/distros/d2iq

- OpenShift 4.x: https://repo1.dso.mil/platform-one/distros/red-hat
- VMWare PKS Essential: https://repo1.dso.mil/platform-one/dod-tanzu
Kubernetes CNCF-compliant currently supported are: OpenShift 4.x, Kubernetes upstream, D2IQ Konvoy, VMWare PKS Essential and Rancher Federal RKE. Kubernetes CNCF-compliant to be supported soon: VMWare Tanzu and Oracle Kubernetes.
There are a number of existing Platform One IaC environments in development or completed. Since it is difficult to truly make IaC totally cloud agnostic, Platform One will be supporting the following environments:
- Amazon Web Services (AWS) IL-2, IL-5, S, S-SAP (when available), TS/SCI, and TS-SAP (FENCES), AWS Outpost
- Azure IL-2, IL-5, S (when available), S-SAP (when available), Azure Stack
- On-premise / Edge VMWare vSphere
The DSOP includes the various mandated containers of the Reference Design including Elasticsearch, Fluentd, and Kibana (EFK), Sidecar Container Security Stack (SCSS), etc.
Teams should leverage the IaC available on the DCCSCR whenever possible and contribute back their code improvements to the DCCSCR whenever applicable.

PLATFORM ONE BoAs
A Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) is an agreement between the Government and a contractor. “A BOA may be used to expedite contracting for uncertain requirements for supplies or services when specific items, quantities, and prices are not known at the time the agreement is executed, but a substantial number of requirements for the type of supplies or services covered by the agreement are anticipated to be purchased from the contractor.” FAR 16.703(b).
