Key facts
The Federal Office of Information Technology, Systems and Telecommunication (FOITT) recently upgraded its Atlantica private cloud IT infrastructure. In particular, it implemented a new software container management platform. This technology enables an application’s code to be grouped together with the configuration files and components needed to run it. The work, carried out as part of the Amboss programme, was completed by the end of December 2023 at a cost of some CHF 13.2 million. It also involved the creation of new process chains and tools for the automated release of applications known as CNCICD pipelines. These pipelines are of particular importance in terms of the internal control system (ICS). They must ensure that tests to check compliance with the requirements placed on an application solution have been successfully completed before it goes into production mode.
