Remote Working

The Defence Team is facing new ways of working during the COVID-19 Pandemic. A variety of tools, resources, and information are available for civilian employees, managers, and members of the military. New processes, products, and guidelines are being established to help all members of the Defence Team connect with their colleagues during this challenging time.

General Information

Civilian Employees

Enable Interoperability

  • Expose all functionality as services
    • Do not hide services under assumptions that someone would not find value in a service - often innovation can be bred from exposed services beyond it's original plan.
    • Follow the 'eat your own dogfood' mantra - in that all functionality should be a service that you consume.
  • Use microservices built around business capabilities. Scope each service to a single purpose
    • Focus on smallest unit of purpose, and developing a single function.
  • Run each IT service in its own process and have it communicate with other services through a well-defined interface, such as a HTTPS-based application programming interface (API)à
  • Run applications in containers
    • Ensure containers contain a single application, and build the smallest image possible.
    • Ensure containers are properly versioned and tagged.
  • Leverage the GC Digital Exchange Platform for components such as the API Store, Messaging, and the GC Service Bus
    • Ensure APIs are discoverable on the API Store.
