DevOps Practices in Government and the Public Sector
· via Spacelift
Summary: Most DevOps writing assumes a startup’s freedom, while public-sector teams work under procurement rules, audit trails and security baselines. Here the ordering is reversed: security and compliance gates come first, and the pipeline is built to satisfy them by default, with auditability and data residency as hard tooling requirements. Modernization succeeds through small proofs inside the rules, rarely through big-bang transformation.
Who should read it: engineers and leads in government or regulated industries, and vendors trying to understand their constraints.
