9-1-1: Cloud Native - Kubernetes For Public Safety Systems
summary
Case study of a 10 year Identity and Access Management platform serving ~10,000 users across 22 jurisdictions and in production since 2013 that migrates from virtual appliances to Docker to cloud Kubernetes and GitOps. Uses OpenUnison as the platform, nightly image scans with Grype/Anchore and automated rebuilds on CVE, Prometheus/Grafana monitoring, and Argo CD with an app-of-apps pattern for GitOps. Implements Vault via the CSI Secret Store driver with a pause pod to sync secrets, CI/CD that patches Git repos, and a three‑person ops team.
