ECMA ORGANIZATION

  • The Cloud Business Office designs, develops, resources, executes and enhances the Cloud Modernization Approval Process (CMAP) including system owner and stakeholder engagements, software assessments and design enhancements, and software engineering efforts, to deliver secure, cloud-optimized solutions and operationalized data to support the Army Cloud Plan, Army Digital Transformation Strategy and Army Modernization Strategy.

  • The Cloud Services Division designs, builds, secures, operates and continuously enhances the cARMY common shared services provided as a service to the U.S. Army and the DoD. These common services are established to support Impact Levels 2, 4, 5 and 6 today within Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure. Additionally, the Cloud Services Division establishes and maintains the set of access and border security services for the cARMY environment, including the Virtual Data Security Stack and the availability of cARMY user access to the environments through the Cloud Access Points.

    Common Shared Services for cARMY enable applications to function in the hosting environment and are centrally managed by the ECMA. Providing centralized Common Shared Services reduces costs and reduces barriers to cloud adoption by preparing the environment for all applications. The ECMA presently delivers 31 Common Shared Services in cARMY and will update and modify these as Army needs dictate.

    To view technical details of all 31 Common Services of cARMY visit the ECMA cARMY Information Portal (CAC Required).

  • The Cloud Cybersecurity Division (C2D) enables digital overmatch by accelerating the Army’s transition to cloud technologies, with a focus on cybersecurity policy, in support of the Army Modernization Strategy. C2D provides decision makers with risk-informed policy and recommendations by modernizing the cybersecurity authorization process and decreasing time to field cloud-based solutions through the execution of a lean risk management process. Key tasks include modernizing ATO processes to capitalize on cloud-enabled DevSecOps practices, aligning cybersecurity policy to strategic guidance, Congressional requirements, and establishing compliance reporting for all Army cloud environments.

  • Resource Management is the financial operations, external communications, business processes, acquisition efforts for the Enterprise Cloud Management Agency. These efforts are focused on ensuring the required vendor services are available via contracts awarded based on focused acquisition efforts, ensuring business processes are defined across stakeholders—with automated workflows in defined systems—to allow ECMA to effectively meet customers’ needs in each phase of the customer’s journey. ECMA ensures concise, informative, and educational communications are provided to all Army audiences, and has an overall technical architecture allowing all aspects of the cARMY environment to function effectively.

ECMA CLOUD SERVICES

  • ECMA established multi and hybrid cloud ecosystem known as cARMY to simplify, standardize and optimize the Army-wide adoption of cloud technology and reduce barriers to cloud migration. cARMY provides common cloud shared services, global connectivity and required Cybersecurity Service Provider (CSSP) services for all Army applications, systems and data hosted in the cloud.

    cARMY is currently approved for use for data impact levels 2 - 6.

  • From procuring cloud accounts and modernizing applications to acquire capabilities to build applications in the cloud, ECMA has been working hard to make it easy for the Army to modernize its IT portfolio.

  • The Army's vision is to provide a common DevSecOps platform for the Army community to design, test, build and rapidly deliver secure software capabilities to accelerate capability maturation.

    DSO-S strives to enable application teams to quickly deploy secure, resilient and scalable applications into the hands of users.  We utilize the continuous Risk Management Framework (cRMF) model within an IL-4/5 accredited environment platform in cARMY.

    What DSO-S Offers

    DSO-S provides a DevSecOps ecosystem with a range of tools, services and capabilities to enable planning, CI/CD orchestration, development, build, test, security and release of products. Our goal is to enable cloud-native software development and continuous software modernization, within a secure, stable and reliable platform.

    Platform Infrastructure

    A cloud-native high availability container-based environment is at the base of the DSO-S platform. Characteristics include automated provisioning, data parity, disaster recovery and Open Container Initiative (OCI) compliant container images.

    The availability of common-stack services and capabilities to be offered will support a “self-service” for DevSecOps pipeline management. This will allow DSO-S tenant software development teams and factories to focus on the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) without needing to maintain the underlying infrastructure.

    Capabilities

    • Self-service user and team access control and management services
    • Collaboration, project and document management with requirements tracing and issue tracking capabilities.
    • Source code, release, software dependency management
    • Software assurance
    • Software artifact storage
    • Code, application and container vulnerability scanning
