Under the prototype OT, Pivotal Software, Inc. successfully prototyped the use of agile software development methodology in conjunction with a modernized software platform (Pivotal Cloud Foundry); prototyped the use of agile software development for large enterprise architectures; produced user-centered design, test-driven development, continuous integration, and continuous delivery of new and enhanced software code; and mentored and trained Government personnel in agile development methodologies. As a result of Pivotal's efforts under the prototype OT, the following results were demonstrated: (1) deployed unclassed, off-premise cloud-native DevOps environment on Amazon Web Services (AWS) GovCloud in 62 days; (2) fielded accredited SIPRNet cloud-native DevOps platform at an Air Operations Center (AOC) in under 128 days; (3) replicated at second AOC in 32 days; (4) became the first DoD organization to achieve Continuous Delivery to SIPRNet operations, with 8-10 new features pushed to SIPRNet per app/per week and can push to SIPRNet in under an hour; and (5) Government also took 5 applications from concept through unclassified development and into operations on SIPRNet in an average of 124 days and 85% automated/repeatable test coverage, continuous security, continuous integration. To that end, the Government will continue to utilize the prototyped methodology and the software and services that support them. The AOC intends to scale the prototype methodology to the entire AOC and Targeting and Geospatial-Intelligence enterprises, which necessarily require expanding the use of software and services to the demands of the methodology running at scale.
