Deploying Kubernetes in Classified Environments - Vlad Ungureanu & Ali Monfre, Palantir Technologies

Since its inception, Palantir has partnered with the Department of Defense, the Intelligence Community, and allied governments to support their most critical missions. Usually, this translates to deploying our software stack on classified networks and environments, which have very strict and wide-ranging constraints. To adhere to these constraints while simultaneously ensuring a continued ability to deliver modern technology on a cadence that enables mission-critical outcomes, Palantir has increasingly leveraged and deployed Kubernetes and CNCF technologies. In this talk, Vlad and Ali will present an overview of how companies should approach classified environments, and share guidelines describing the top principles to keep in mind when deploying software to these networks. They will discuss the approach Palantir has taken, how it has evolved over time, and decisions made which enabled significant scale and modern software deployment in the government's most secure environments.
