Mach DevOps/Government CloudOps
AZURE GOV · AWS GOVCLOUD · OCI GOV · FEDRAMP
DevOps and cloud security engineering for the systems government and enterprise run on: Azure Government and AWS GovCloud architecture, FedRAMP and ATO readiness, NIST SP 800-53 controls, FIPS 140-3 encryption, Kubernetes, and Terraform. Built to the highest bar of security and shipped at speed.
00 / WHAT WE’RE BUILDING NOW
Representative of current work inside regulated programs. Details stay general by design.
Architecting and operating enterprise SaaS workloads in Azure Government for federal use: control implementations, security boundaries, and the continuous-monitoring program it takes to earn and hold an authorization.
Integrating Azure OpenAI and modern AI services into regulated platforms, building the APIs, Python services, and data flows that let products use AI without leaving their compliance and data-residency requirements.
Standardizing infrastructure as code across environments, running containerized workloads on Kubernetes, and wiring pipelines that bake scanning, policy gates, and compliance evidence into every deployment while driving down cloud spend.
01 / CORE SERVICES
End-to-end cloud engineering across the major government and commercial clouds, with security in every layer.
Mission workloads in Microsoft Azure Government, engineered for federal data sovereignty, residency, and agency mandates from the first design decision.
Scalable microservices, landing-zone design, hybrid connectivity, and cost-optimized infrastructure for enterprise SaaS.
Infrastructure design and automation on AWS commercial and GovCloud: IAM hardening, multi-account organization, and NIST-aligned controls.
Secure, auditable delivery in Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions: gated deployments, approval workflows, and automated compliance evidence at every stage.
Version-controlled, policy-enforced infrastructure with Terraform, Bicep, and ARM. Repeatable environments across every stage with no configuration drift.
AKS and EKS cluster design, Helm chart management, image hardening, and OPA Gatekeeper policy, including air-gapped environments.
SSP development, control implementation, 3PAO readiness, and continuous-monitoring program design, through authorization and beyond.
FIPS 140-3 validated encryption, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Microsoft Sentinel SIEM, and zero-trust network architecture for regulated workloads.
Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, and AI services integrated into compliant cloud platforms, from API architecture to Python services and data pipelines.
02 / CLOUD PLATFORMS
Hands-on expertise across the government and commercial cloud ecosystems. No lock-in, no gaps.
Azure Government and commercial architecture with identity-first security, policy guardrails, and Sentinel-backed visibility.
Multi-account foundations, IAM hardening, and detection wired across accounts and regions.
Tenancy design, compartment isolation, and posture management for enterprise and government workloads.
03 / COMPLIANCE
Every architecture is built around the frameworks the mission must meet. Controls are embedded from the first infrastructure decision, not retrofitted.
The backbone of federal security. We implement, document, and test control families across access, audit, configuration, identity, and system protection.
Control catalogEnd-to-end readiness support, from SSP development and 3PAO preparation through authorization and ongoing continuous monitoring.
ReadinessOnly FIPS-validated cryptographic modules for data in transit and at rest, as federal systems require.
CryptoArchitecture and control implementation for Controlled Unclassified Information and National Security Systems under the DoD Cloud Computing SRG.
DoD CC SRGLevel 2 and Level 3 practice implementation for defense contractors and the Defense Industrial Base supply chain, mapped to NIST SP 800-171.
DIBService-organization and payment-card controls for commercial platforms that need rigorous, continuously collected security evidence.
CommercialAzure Policy and AWS SCPs enforce compliance automatically. Every resource is checked against approved baselines before provisioning completes.
ConMon programs with automated vulnerability scanning, log aggregation, SIEM alerting, and monthly POA&M tracking.
Entra ID, AWS IAM, MFA enforcement, privileged identity management, and least-privilege RBAC across every boundary.
Immutable logs, pipeline-generated artifacts, and SSP evidence organized for assessors. Documentation that holds up.
04 / PATH TO AUTHORIZATION
Strong security has to be implemented, documented, and sustained. We support the engineering behind FedRAMP readiness, NIST SP 800-53 controls, and continuous monitoring.
Identify data flows, in-scope services, inherited controls, and customer responsibilities. Establish a defensible system boundary before implementation.
OUTPUT / BOUNDARY + RESPONSIBILITY MAPTranslate requirements into access policies, configuration baselines, encryption choices, logging, and change controls that teams can operate.
OUTPUT / IMPLEMENTED + DOCUMENTED CONTROLSOrganize technical evidence, support system security documentation, and connect findings to accountable remediation and POA&M workflows.
OUTPUT / EVIDENCE + REMEDIATION WORKFLOWSBuild an operating rhythm for vulnerability management, configuration drift, access reviews, incident response, and ongoing evidence collection.
OUTPUT / MONITORING + OPERATIONAL RUNBOOKS05 / SECURE DELIVERY PIPELINE
Secure, auditable CI/CD for government and enterprise. Every stage compliant, every deployment traceable.
# Gov Cloud secure delivery pattern trigger: branches: { include: [main, release/*] } stages: - stage: Validate jobs: - job: terraform_plan # dry-run + policy check - job: sast_scan # SAST, Checkov, Trivy - job: sbom_generation # software bill of materials - stage: Deploy_Prod condition: and(succeeded(), eq(variables['isMain'],'true')) jobs: - deployment: release environment: azure-gov-prod # AO approval gate strategy: runOnce: deploy: steps: - task: TerraformApply - task: ComplianceEvidence # ConMon artifacts - task: SIEMAlert # event → Sentinel
Build artifacts are signed with FIPS-validated modules. Container images are scanned, signed, and stored in compliant registries before promotion.
Each run generates structured evidence (scan results, deployment logs, control attestations) fed straight into the monitoring package.
No deployment reaches production without passing Azure Policy, OPA Gatekeeper, and custom checks. Gates can require human AO approval.
