Using Open Source to Close the Cloud Skills Gap MIL-OSS LANT 2012 Conference Matt Zager, SAIC Vice President and Business Unit Chief Technology Officer May 23-24, 2012
Cloud Skills Gap • IT transformations – new opportunities – new challenges • The skill sets are not fundamentally new but the subtleties are • Cloud concepts, terminology, standards, APIs, and tools • API features, API compatibility, binary compatibility, and common core • Crossing the chasm or heading for a trough? • Is one skilled in the art without applying the skill? • Where are these skills going to come from?

Architecture of Collaboration • Security is a ubiquitous requirement for the U.S. Department of Defense service delivery • Services are distributed without common centralized security infrastructure • Services are implemented in diverse environments – binary re-use not always possible • Services are key to capability in delivery of cloud models – build on SOA foundation Pattern: Identity propagation Standard: SAML Library: OpenSAML Code: Servlet filters, JAX-WS handlers Class Java Java Java • The overall level of effort to incorporate security into the components chosen for the security vignette was comparatively low. • Securing the interactions proved to be straightforward and easily accomplished in all cases. • All use case runs were successfully conducted with the expected results, verifying the functionality of the “service-to-service" security capability. • - C2RPC Spiral 3 Report jar ONR SOA SA LTE ONR SOA RI C2RPC Java Class Java AP Pilot JCTD jar jar P & P P & P P & P P & P P & P P & P jar DONCOOP (ONR Navy SOA + USMC MAGTF SOA) NECC USA TS3
