Past Performance & Highlights

Review our proven track record to see how we’ve successfully delivered innovative IT solutions across various projects. From streamlining operations to enhancing security, our highlights showcase our commitment to excellence and the tangible impact we’ve made for our clients.

NextQuest Solutions SRE’s help develop cloud native k8s infrastructure for use across IC customer organization with adaptable public code base for external customers.

Our SRE’s lead the charge on creating an infrastructure as code platform that takes advantage of some of the best and latest open source technologies including: Kubernetes, ArgoCD, Prometheus, Grafana, Cilium, Istio, keycloak, keda, karpenter, Terraform, AWS, and others. The baseline was captured in github and is publicly available for those in secure and non secure environments to use. 

NextQuest had key personnel involved in this project from its inception in the Fall of 2023. NextQuest SRE’s continue to support this effort and drive it forward providing great customer service and a secure, scalable, cloud native option for for housing applications for customers within this organization and those in other organizations that opt to adapt their code base. Once fully realized this project will include the K8s platform, a DNS service, an AMI service, a triage service, and a service dedicated to helping expedite the A&A process for platform tenants.

NextQuest Solutions dedicated DevOps Engineers use AWS expertise to help facilitate change

Our DevOps Engineers played a role in transitioning a large IC data lake’s infrastructure from being comprised of hundreds of VMs to instead being run in a servers less capacity based mostly on Lambda functions.

During this process our DevOps Engineers were responsible for the upkeep of the hundreds of older VMs and performed regular maintenance, deployments, and troubleshooting as needed to prevent system downtime. These actions required familiarity with different AWS resources such as: CloudFormation, EC2, S3, AMIs, RDS, ASGs, Launch Configurations, CloudWatch, and more. To manage all of these resources tools such as Jenkins were implemented. Initially a private/stand alone Jenkins in each AWS mission account was being used, this eventually evolved in to a singular Jenkins worker node that was linked to an enterprise managed Jenkins and could deploy to all of the AWS mission environments. This, among other changes, helped drastically reduce the cost of operating the data lake and search application.
