For organizations with sensitive data needs and legacy apps, I think it makes some sense to look at bringing cloud to on-premises rather than the inverse through taking on solutions that work both cloud and on-premise. I'm a bit biased as an ex Microsoftie (mainly not because I think MS stuff is all wonderful, but because I'm more comfortable with it). Where I'm working in DoD with high security requirements, we've had good sucess with Microsoft Azure DevOps which provides an on-premises version. I like also Azure Stack Hub which is a sort of cloud in a box, but the problem is that the SDK is only a subset of functionality, so just to evaluate it, you're looking at upwards of 300K to get an appliance just for evaluating it. I'm not super-knowledgeable with Red Hat, but my understanding is that you can do a lot on premises with OpenShift without having to commit to commercial cloud.
It’s grown, as we have grown. There’s now the public/gov clouds, open shift, and even some specialized areas (for example, our data mesh platform, which is my focus area). It’s all focused on achieving agility and speed for dev teams but also make hitting our compliance requirements as easily as possible (I can’t think of a compliance regime I don’t deal with: DoD, Dept of Commerce, GDPR (and all the other countries), HIPAA, SOX, etc.).

We did it when we first adopt cloud foundry….needed a group to make that thing work within our high compliance environment.
That makes since. Is CF still the primary mission of the group?
