Agile Modernization with batCAVE (Part 2)

Our goal was to accelerate production faster and more efficiently. Enter batCAVE, a secure Platform as a Service (PaaS), providing an easy, reliable, and secure way to deploy CMS applications to the cloud.

SECURE CMS

RVCM identified a need from The Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to decrease the “time to value” in their systems. Our goal was to accelerate ideation to production faster and more efficiently. Enter batCAVE, a secure Platform as a Service (PaaS), providing an easy, reliable, and secure way to deploy CMS applications to the cloud. By decreasing the time dedicated to audits and the fears associated with updating production code, batCAVE incentivizes faster innovation at CMS.

EFFICIENCY TOOLS

The batCAVE platform creates an extensible and easily repeatable baseline infrastructure using infrastructure as code (IaC) and configuration as code (CaC) that leverages Kubernetes, platform tools, and services necessary to deploy a secure application. Using DevSecOps and human-centered design principles, batCAVE was built from the ground up to become the most efficient way to develop software at CMS.

Within batCAVE, a suite of platform tools and services work in unison to provide a secure and efficient CI/CD pipeline that automates security checks to rapidly release software to production and reduce the risk of manual processes.

The batCAVE provided pre-approved and vetted technology sets, such as sample security implementations, which are reusable and directly Increase automation and collaboration. Security checks are fully automated, allowing for the ability to rapidly release software to production.

We have onboarded more than 4 ADOs and 78% of batCAVE controls are inheritance mapped. Additionally, infrastructure has become both repeatable and automated due to IaC, CaC, and Kubernetes that increase validation and security.

The TRON/RVCM Partnership

In September 2019, RVCM and TRON formed the TRON software factory (herinafter referred to as the DevLab). As part of TRON, RVCM partnered daily with Airmen to co-develop and deploy the Puckboard application onto Platform One.

Security, Speed, and Scale with Platform One

This partnership began with our own user-centered design team, conducting a research and analysis effort to improve the customer experience at P1, resulting in organized processes, cultural shifts towards service design and customer experience mindset, and an updated P1 DevSecOps Survival Guide.
