description Platform One Overview

Platform One is an open-source Internal Developer Platform (IDP) designed to streamline the software delivery process. It provides a self-service portal for developers, enabling them to provision infrastructure, deploy applications, and manage services with ease.

Built on Kubernetes, Platform One promotes standardization and automation, reducing operational overhead and accelerating time to market. It's a relatively new platform but gaining traction for its focus on developer experience and platform engineering principles. It's a good choice for organizations looking to build a custom IDP.

help Platform One FAQ

What is Platform One in cloud-native development?

Platform One is a U.S. Department of Defense approach to secure DevSecOps and software delivery for military and government systems. Its ecosystem includes services such as Big Bang, Iron Bank, Repo One, Party Bus, and single sign-on components.

How does Platform One use Kubernetes?

Platform One's Big Bang distribution deploys a DevSecOps platform onto a Kubernetes cluster using bundled application charts and hardened configuration. It gives teams a more opinionated starting point for security, observability, and delivery than assembling every component from scratch.

What is Iron Bank in Platform One?

Iron Bank is Platform One's repository of hardened container images for software supply-chain and compliance workflows. Its documentation describes more than 1,000 hardened vendor and open-source containers with vulnerability and compliance assessments.

Is Platform One the same thing as a normal commercial internal developer platform?

It overlaps with an internal developer platform because it standardizes infrastructure and software delivery, but its primary context is secure DoD and government DevSecOps. Big Bang, Iron Bank, CNAP, and Authority to Operate requirements make it more security- and compliance-oriented than a generic Kubernetes portal.
