Launching the Next Generation Satellite Ground System on Cloud Foundry and Microservices

on YouTube ↗30m

" summary

DigitalGlobe builds a next‑generation satellite ground system as microservices on Cloud Foundry, running on OpenStack, VMware and AWS; mission domains include ordering, mission planning, control, inventory, processing and delivery. An initial lightweight eventing service turns into three microservices, CI/CD uses Jenkins with blue/green deploys via Jenkins and OAuth/UAA security, and automated end‑to‑end tests validate functionality. Offline buildpacks for air‑gapped deploys support remote customers, burstable on‑prem/off‑prem capacity eases scaling, and apps generally run unchanged across OpenStack VMware and AWS, so demos succeed and rollout proceeds.
