A Fully Automated and Tailored Pipeline

Our fully automated GitOps platform improves an organization’s DevSecOps delivery and maturity through its scalable and integrated ecosystem. The ecosystem is built for:

  • Modular architectures for cloud-agnostic hosting
  • Universal repositories
  • Continuous testing and security
  • CI/CD tooling
  • Comprehensive and customizable software distribution

We utilize the U.S. Department of Defense’s Platform One DevSecOps Reference Architecture for hardening base images, including application layers that inherit those permissions to provide compatibility with other government platforms while reducing technical debt and overhead.

Cohesive End-to-End Resources

Our integrated platform provides cohesive end-to-end resources, including:

We manage infrastructure as code to deploy end-to-end compute resources for DevSecOps within one hour. This encourages systems thinking by depicting performance at a team level, discouraging a narrow focus on improving operational metrics in a specific silo.

Our solutions are tied to our six digital services. Learn more about MetroStar’s security services.

Integrated platforms enhance productivity, collaboration, communication, and business outcomes the for the product team.

Open Policy Agent (OPA) unifies policy enforcement across the stack, simplifying policy management with fewer resources dedicated to policy management while still meeting security requirements.

We simplify provisioning, consuming, upgrading, and operating multiple and vendor-diverse Kubernetes clusters (e.g., in some cases, leveraging Cluster API (CAPI) to simplify provisioning, upgrading, and operating multiple Kubernetes clusters using declarative APIs).

We ensure the right people have secure access to only the environments they need and limit them from the ones they do not.
