The United States Air Force Chief Software Officer Nicolas Chaillan joins Tetrate's Zack Butcher - early Istio engineer and project steering committee member, to talk about the US Department of Defence's use of Open Source and Istio.
In this 'Ask Me Anything' session, Mr. Chaillan discusses the DoD's adoption and use of open source technology on everything from fighter jets to nuclear subs. He explains how everything they do is open source, and founded on the principles of DevSecOps. He details how the DoD saved 100 years in one year by moving 37 programs to DevSecOps, and around $12.5 million in the budget, per year, per program.
On Istio he adds how vital the move to the Open Usage Commons was for their continued adoption of Istio, and how Istio is the key to successful Zero Trust Architecture.
