An Overview of the DoD's DevSecOps Reference Design and its Intersection with the Learning Technology Warehouse
November 17, 2021

Description: This webinar will provide an overview of the DoD’s DevSecOps Reference Design (version 2.1) and its intersection with the DoD Learning Enclave. The DevSecOps Reference Design is published by the Office of the DoD Chief Information Officer to enable an automated set of tools, services, and standards to expedite software through the engineering processes required to enable continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) of software across the DoD.
The DoD Learning Enclave (DLE) enables an interconnected system of systems that work together to improve the efficiency for how we train and education our personnel. The DLE reduces the total cost of ownership through a validated DevSecOps pipeline that enables the continuous integration and continuous deployment of enterprise data management systems and the full range of tools, technologies, systems, and platforms used to support training and education. The Learning Technology Warehouse (LTW) includes a catalog of transition-ready products, platforms, and other software systems that are tested, accredited, containerized, and ready to be deployed by DoD organizations (i.e., deployed to the DLE for continuous CI/CD, On-Prem, or embedded).

Background: The rise of DevSecOps across the DoD has led to rapid demand for new tools to make the design, development, and deployment of software systems more efficient. The DoD’s Enterprise Digital Learning Modernization (EDLM) program is enabling a defense-wide, training and education software factory that aligns with the DoD’s DevSecOps Reference Design. Initially, this pipeline is being used to support the ADL Initiative’s portfolio of open-source research projects. The pipeline is configurable to support software products that are in different stages of development, as well as commercial tools, technologies, and platforms.
The Learning Technology Warehouse includes a product catalog for technical services and solutions that are certified for use in the DoD Learning Enclave or can be deployed on other DoD networks (through appropriate reciprocity agreements). The LTW includes basic product descriptions, links to demonstration systems, and detailed instructions for when DoD organizations want to deploy outside the DLE. LTW products will also be conformant with the required data interoperability requirements included in DoDI 1322.26. The LTW product catalog allow DoD users to evaluate, compare, and acquire different Learning Technologies based on their organizational needs which supports the Assisted Acquisition strategy that is part of the EDLM program.
