Customer challenge

• Support of DevOps implementation, and auto-

provisioning of infrastructure, storage, and networks

• Support continuous deployment and continuous

integration, automated builds for applications, and the
infrastructure on which they are deployed

• Support the move to agile development within the

DevOps framework as the customer moves into
additional cloud services
Solution

• Provide auto-provisioning of infrastructure, storage, and

networks……… through the use of AWS Service Catalog leveraging
CloudFormation templates.

• Automation focuses on the setup, configuration, deployment, and

support of infrastructure and the applications that run on it. The
removal of manual processes is key…….. again, through the use of
AWS Service Catalog leveraging CloudFormation templates.

• Continuous deployment and continuous integration. Automated

deployment of production-ready code.

AWS Service Catalog

• Lockheed Martin was honored to participate in the Beta

release of the AWS Service Catalog

• Established several use-case scenarios that aligned to the

customer requirements and intent

• Able to auto-provision resources from a simple EC2 instance,

all the way to a full-functioning Virtual Private Cloud instance
with all of the pre-defined and appropriate infrastructure,
storage, network, configurations, and settings with a few
simple clicks by the DevOps team member
