NGSA

Next Generation Symmetric Apps

Project Description

Understanding how infrastructure changes will impact application capabilities. To that end, the NGSA effort is focused on creating a Kubernetes based application host environment in conjunction with a platform validation app that will allow continuous monitoring of the impact of changes in the hosting environment based on performance metrics results from a representative workload.

At it's culmination the project will be a collection of guidance for deployment topologies based on capability maturity, a platform validation application, and a load generation tool.
