Karsun Solutions Co-Founder and Chief Architect Kartik Mecheri recently sat in on Red Hat’s application modernization for government agencies IT Roundtable. Over the course of 40 minutes, this expert panel discussed DevOps, cloud migration, and microservices architecture at scale.
Initially, Mecheri identifies three paths to DevOps success: a bottom-up CI/CD approach, a top-down performance-focused approach, and an approach focused on loosely coupled architecture. Karsun manifests the combination of the bottom up and top-down approaches through the Continuous Governance life cycle.
He also identifies how working within the established process and culture is key to customer success, and urges teams to seek out opportunities to leverage the cloud’s flexibility and agility to beat bureaucracy. Karsun’s Cloud Runways, for instance, uses platforms that are currently available while focusing on opportunities to utilize cloud-native capabilities already in place. By combining GoLean for DevOps governance, Cloud Runways, and microservices architecture Karsun built modernization solutions for their customers with limited impact on service lines.
The roundtable is available on demand through Red Hat and available here.
For 27 years, the Federal 100 Awards have recognized government, industry and academic leaders who have played pivotal roles that affect how the federal government acquires, develops and manages IT. This year it recognized our own co-founder, Kartik K. Mecheri for his success in “Making GSA more agile.” Kartik has spurred agile development at the General Services Administration with an eye to boosting efficiency. He has been instrumental in helping GSA move away from traditional waterfall development to agile and other methods that stress communication, collaboration and use of the cloud. His influence has extended to GSA’s agile delivery team and innovation lab 18F. Essentially, Kartik and his team created a robust repository of proven, free code for federal agencies to reuse.
