We build a product that is installed on our clients' platforms, and we replicate their environments here in order to develop and test it. The estate is on-premises and mostly air-gapped. There is no public cloud. A DMZ is the only way in: software, patches, container images and dependencies are downloaded there, scanned, then physically carried across into the enclave. Everything the project depends on
- registries, repositories,



package mirrors, scanners, identity, secrets, logging
- is self-hosted and has to keep working with no internet or external access. The target architecture is to automate everything and to run on OpenShift. OpenShift is where we are going, not where we are today, so expect to build it as well as run it. Client acceptance testing runs on native Windows. Work inside the enclave involves protectively marked material and the handling procedures that come with it. Preferred Education
