Visionary Panel – Federal Cloud Adoption: Sky’s The Limit?
Cloud Computing continues to gain greater traction within the Federal Government, but how are agencies actually utilizing this technology? What are the different types of Cloud services and what is their respective adoption rate? Which applications are being migrated to the Cloud and which applications are staying in-house? Do agencies prefer Public, Private or Hybrid models? And ultimately, has the transition to Cloud impacted IT expenditure and worker productivity?
Moderator:
Frank Konkel, Government Executive
Panelists:
Dan Doney, Chief Information Officer, Defense Intelligence Agency
Stan Kaczmarczyk, Director, Cloud Computing Services Program Office, Office of Integrated Technology Services, U.S. General Services Administration
Phil Klokis*, Chief Information Officer, Public Building Services, U.S. General Services Administration

10:10 a.m. – 10:55 a.m.
Visionary Panel – Navigating the Cloud Security Landscape
As agencies research and ultimately implement Cloud solutions, they must have a thorough understanding of cloud security components. This panel will examine the security risks associated with a cloud deployment and discuss successful implementations. In addition, the panel will talk about cloud security policy including standardized FedRAMP requirements for all government agencies, as well as DoD’s Security Requirements Guide (SRG).
Moderator:
Molly Walker, Executive Editor, FierceGovernmentIT
Panelists:
Claudio Belloli, FedRAMP Program Manager for Cybersecurity, U.S. General Services Administration

Visionary Panel – Cloud Technology of the Future
Cloud Computing is picking up tremendous momentum in both the government and private sector, but what new Cloud technology on the horizon may impact the industry in the future? This panel will examine the art of the possible, as well as the tools and ideas we may be hearing more about in the next couple of years.

The MITRE-ATARC Cloud Collaboration Symposium features discussion and white-boarding between government and industry subject matter experts in a small-group setting. The outcomes of these sessions will be compiled in a White Paper with recommendations to the government.
Cloud Challenge Areas
1. DevOps and Automation in the Cloud
- What are the primary challenges with cloud service automation?
- What services, tools, and utilities have been effectively used to manage cloud automation?
- What current non-cloud DevOps practices are applicable to cloud use? What practices must change?
- How do we integrate Cloud IT Operations Automation and Orchestration with DevOps?
- Does DevOps change between cloud and non-cloud systems in the government?
Government Lead
Jim Tunnessen, Chief of Digital Innovation & Development, U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services (USCIS)
MITRE Lead
Karen Caraway, Principal Systems Engineer
2. Integration Services and Migration Aids
- What gaps exist in the migration process?
- What tools are available to help understand the suitability ROI for cloud migration? What tools exist for migration of applications?
- What services exist to help manage the integration between clouds (such as services split between commercial, private, and hybrid environments)?
- What are the challenges in migrating applications to the cloud (e.g., cloud ready vs cloud optimized)?
- How can data services be effectively made available in a heterogeneous cloud environment?
Government Lead
Roger Seeholzer, Security Architect, U.S. Department of Homeland Security
MITRE Lead
Nicole Gong, Lead Software Systems Engineer, MITRE
3. Acquisition and Contracting for Cloud Services
- What cost concerns does your organization have when planning a migration to the cloud?
- How can the government or cloud vendors construct purchasing agreements that support pay-per use capabilities?
- How can the government or cloud vendors construct purchasing agreements that adapt to variable use?
- How have CSPs helped mitigate this challenge, and what else should the government expect or encourage them to do?
Government Lead
Maynard Crum, Deputy Director, Strategic Programs, U.S. General Services Administration
MITRE Lead
Jim Vann, Acquisition Analyst, MITRE
4. Data Interchange in Federated Clouds
- Are government-wide standards the solution to data interoperability?
- How can government cloud storage be reliably accessed to other government agencies?
- What are the challenges – and potential solutions – to accessing data in heterogeneous environments?
- Will the practices of commercial cloud services be suitable for government-owned clouds? Do the commercial services used by government cloud consumers pose a risk to government data?
