Micro-Consulting Work Statement – DevOps Dashboard and API
Background
As the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) embraces the culture and practices of a Development Operations (DevOps) environment, the VA OI&T is focusing on the evolution of several aspects of our organizational process and structure. One way VA is beginning to do this is by migrating toward a Product Line Management (PLM) framework. PLM is a strategic model focused on consolidating systems and projects that share a business strategy, objectives, and customers within a common “product line.” PLM in DevOps will promote coordination between our teams and our stakeholders , involving business customers, end users, development teams, and operations teams in every step of development and operations from product inception to product sunset.
The Play
VA Product Line Manager is requiring all development teams to be able to spin up their DevOps continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) environment and deploy code within a matter of minutes and requires a dashboard and an Application Program Interface (API) that provides standardized performance measurement and DevOps maturity metrics across the product line.
Deliverables
A defined and repeatable strategy/process to create a fully integrated, self-servicing, and expandable DevOps environment that can be managed by a small team of seven to ten members, and contributed to by the open-source and contractor community.
Final Deliverable should be a White Paper / PowerPoint no longer than four pages that outlines:
Deliverables shall be submitted to VA's GitHub Repo.
Time Box
VA anticipates a four-week iteration to be sufficient. Draft write-ups should be submitted to VA for approval prior to submission in GitHub.
Vendors may propose alternate time frame for VA's consideration.
Disclaimer
In order to avoid potential conflicts of interest, the Contractor will not be provided any non-public information to develop the deliverables. Additionally, all deliverable's will be made publicly available in the VA GitHub repository.
In performance of this effort, the contractor shall not perform a function that requires access to a VA system or VA sensitive information (e.g., system administrator privileged access to a VA system, or contractor systems or processes that utilize VA sensitive information). Additionally, the contractor shall not connect one or more contractor-owned IT devices to a VA internal trusted network. Finally, this acquisition does not involve the storage, generating, transmitting, or exchanging of VA sensitive information.
