|Part two of our movie themed story of TC's Journey to the Cloud : The lift off phase. We discuss Cloud Adoption, Workload Migration, Launching a protected-B application (before SCED), partnerships, taking risks, automation and sharing Microsoft 365 and Teams. COVID as a driver - it's got it all. Join us for some edge of your seat stuff!

|ISED has initiated a Work Load Migration (WLM) and transformation initiative to modernize its workloads and move to the Cloud. The initiative is big and the impact on the way ISED delivers IT services is huge which requires a clear Cloud Strategy and a solid understanding of what Cloud Service offerings and practices are going to be used for the migrations. The presentation focuses on how ISED is organizing its Cloud Service offerings to execute efficiently its work load migrations to the Cloud

|Microsoft Teams has quickly become the ultimate collaboration and teamwork application. Users can add, customize, and find everything they need in one place without the need to navigate to different places. Custom applications hosted in a cloud environment can interact with on-premise systems through APIs. The custom applications can be further integrated into Teams or other M365 components to expose the data and functionalities of the on-premise systems. Integrating custom applications and services into Teams platform can improve the productivity, provide focus and enhance collaboration. The presentation will go through the following parts:

|Thought experiment: How much would it cost you to stand up a bare-bones web page in government that was “approved” to collect personal information. In other words, what’s the price tag for a government site that only says: “Hello world” but had gone through all the paperwork, infrastructure setup and approvals for collecting “Protected B” information. For our small project we estimate it's been over $500,000... and we're not there yet. This is unfortunately a near insurmountable burden for experimental projects that will greatly limit innovation in the GoC if it persist.

|TBS Cyber's Tracker project will scan web and email security settings to automate compliance. Automating compliance more broadly will require more than TLS and DNS settings to be observable. Everything from workflow to infrastructure to the running system needs to be programmatically inspectable. This talk will center on work TBS Cyber is doing to build systems in a way that enables automated analysis and lay the foundation for automated compliance.

|The sudden onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada, and the crucial need for public situational awareness, brought several departments together with an urgent and shared requirement for a means to create and deliver key data and information to decision-makers and the public. Within 72 hours of the ask for a shared cloud environment, Natural Resources Canada’s Federal Geospatial Platform team deployed a horizontal, multi-jurisdictional, geospatially enabled cloud that provided Public Health Agency Canada, Statistics Canada and NRCan, as well as provincial, territorial and private sector partners, with a shared environment for the rapid consolidation of key data, which was used to create online data visualizations and situational dashboards to inform on the unfolding crisis. Updated every 12 hours, the online maps and dashboards are publically available on the PHAC web site and are used in daily briefings with Canada’s Chief Public Health Officer, Dr. Tam.

|The Communications Research Centre’s (CRC’s) Virtual Research Domain (VRD) is a cloud-based data processing and research environment. CRC’s data science team works in the VRD on big data problems relating to wireless telecommunications. When the pandemic hit, CRC was able to quickly pivot, repurposing existing research and data sets to study and measure mobility metrics for the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC). Learn how the VRD and access to hundreds of terabytes of anonymous telecommunications data allowed the CRC to help PHAC understand how Canadians were self-isolating.

|In response to COVID-19, Statistics Canada quickly developed it's Data Analytics as a Service platform using Kubernetes, CNCF, Kubeflow and other cloud native technologies to quicky empower the department's data scientists in an isolated section of our public cloud infrastructure. Developed entirely in the open on GitHub, this talk focues on the technologies, the processes and the lessons learned in quickly responding to a challenge. The environment is fully automated using Terraform for Infrastructure as Code, and GitHub Actions for CI/CD. (https://github.com/StatCan/daaas)

|Cloud technology is quicky advancing, and with it comes larger opportunities for failure whether human led, system led or both. This talk covers some of the different failures that the Cloud Native Platform team at Statistics Canada has encountered while building a platform based on Kubernetes, CNCF and other open source technologies and growing as a team. On the human front, we'll focus on how errors can easily happen and how we can learn from them to prevent them from occurring again. On the system front, we'll walk through how to identify the problem and working with the community to find a resolution.

|We would like to share our story of how we rapidly deployed a modern and open analytics platform in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. Using a combination of Azure platform-as-a-service and open-source technology, we were able to deliver core analysis and collaboration capabilities to our data scientists – accessible from home equipment – within fifteen business days.

|With increased reliance on commercial cloud services comes increased fears of risking technical lock-in. This fear, however, can unjustly lead organisations to ?? the opportuntity gained from platforms services that offer a lower operational burden, increase cost control, and short lead times. ???
