Скачать или смотреть Orchestrating the Tools: Reducing Friction in Federal IT Modernization

With the proliferation of cloud platforms, AI solutions, and edge capabilities, federal IT teams are awash in tools—but often overwhelmed by complexity. Ryan Lewis, Chief Executive Officer of Rancher Government Solutions, shares how the federal landscape has evolved from technology scarcity to a new challenge: managing tool sprawl. Agencies now face the burden of orchestrating disparate systems while ensuring security, usability, and performance across hybrid environments.

Lewis emphasizes that successful modernization requires platforms that abstract away complexity and help agencies focus on mission execution rather than DevOps minutiae. He describes the growing demand for flexible edge solutions—not only in defense but increasingly across civilian agencies as well. He outlines key use cases, including deploying applications in disconnected environments, modernizing legacy systems with zero downtime, and enabling mobile kits for field operations. The path forward, he suggests, lies in simplifying deployment while ensuring resilience and scalability.
