Cloud Deployments for the DoD—Without the Boundaries
Why Traditional Cloud Deployments Fail the DoD
The DoD’s path to the cloud is blocked by security mandates, complex infrastructure, and manual processes—resulting in costly delays and rigid vendor dependencies that are hard to escape.
Slow, Manual ATO Processes
Traditional Authority to Operate (ATO) processes delay deployment by months or years.
Gaps in Security & Compliance
Many commercial cloud solutions lack IL5/IL6 compliance needed for sensitive DoD workloads.
Multi-Cloud Complexity
Managing deployments across AWS GovCloud, Azure GovCloud, and hybrid environments increases risk and costs.
Vendor Lock-In Risks
Proprietary platforms lock teams into rigid contracts where changing tools can mean starting over—costing time, money, and mission momentum.
Time is critical:
The longer these challenges persist, the greater the impact on mission success.
The UDS Advantage: Purpose-Built for DoD Cloud Deployments
Aligned with DoD DevSecOps Reference Design
Built to support DoD cloud mandates, NIST 800-53 compliance, and certified for seamless integration with DoD environments.
Proven in Mission-Critical Environments
Trusted by defense agencies and DoD contractors for secure, scalable cloud deployments in classified and unclassified environments.
Open Architecture, Full Control
Built on open standards and source-available components, UDS avoids vendor lock-in with portable, OCI-compliant packages you can deploy, manage, and inspect independently.
Purpose-Built for Defense Roles
Interfaces designed to support Platform Engineers, SREs, Mission Operators, and System Admins—tailored to defense operations from the ground up.
Automate Deployment & Compliance from Day One
From selecting compliant artifacts to deploying across secure environments, UDS gives your team the tools to deliver faster—without sacrificing control or security.
1.
Define Your Mission Software Needs
Identify the software capabilities and security policies required for your environment. Use the UDS Airgap Store to explore pre-vetted, deployment-ready solutions aligned to DoD mission needs.
2.
Select UDS Pre-Secured Artifacts
Choose from hardened containers, automated CVE-scanned packages, and deployment templates hosted in the UDS Registry—ensuring consistency, transparency, and compliance from the start.
3.
Deploy Across Multi-Cloud & Edge
Deliver secure software across classified, cloud, on-prem, and disconnected environments—using flexible tooling built to meet any mission requirement.
4.
Monitor & Continuously Improve
Access built-in dashboards and observability tools to monitor cluster health, resource usage, and policy compliance in real-time—available through the UDS Premium UI experience.
How DoD Teams Deploy Securely with UDS
Secure Multi-Cloud Software Factories
Complex software supply chains struggle with security and compliance across AWS GovCloud, Azure GovCloud, and on-prem.
UDS standardizes DevSecOps pipelines with hardened, pre-approved security artifacts using UDS Dev and UDS Security, ensuring seamless, policy-compliant deployments.
Accelerated ATO for DoD Applications
Traditional ATOs delay software deployments by months or years.
UDS enables Continuous ATO (cATO) via UDS Registry for pre-vetted packages and UDS UI for real-time security validation, reducing time-to-production from months to weeks.
Edge Deployments for Tactical Environments
Mission-critical applications must operate in disconnected or denied environments.
UDS packages secure, containerized workloads with UDS Mobile and UDS Registry that can be deployed in air-gapped and austere environments without reliance on persistent cloud connectivity.
