Secure Multi-Cloud DevOps Pipeline Implementation for Defense Contracting

As a small-to-medium enterprise operating in the defense sector, our company manages various defense-related projects requiring stringent compliance with cybersecurity regulations. Currently, our deployment processes are fragmented and inefficient, leading to delays and potential security vulnerabilities. We aim to implement a secure, automated multi-cloud DevOps pipeline utilizing Kubernetes for container orchestration, Terraform for infrastructure provisioning, and Jenkins for continuous integration. ArgoCD will manage our GitOps workflows, while Prometheus and Grafana will provide observability to monitor our system's health. Security automation tools will be integrated to ensure compliance with defense industry standards. The project scope includes designing, implementing, and testing the pipeline within a 12-16 week period. Our goal is to achieve rapid, consistent application deployment across multiple cloud environments, enhancing our operational efficiency and security.
