+ | |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: | ||
+ | |||
+ | *1. New demands on GC application architecture; | ||
+ | *2. APIs are the connective tissue for digital services; | ||

+ | |As the GC becomes increasingly reliant on commercially provided services, the risk of lock-in | ||
+ | weighs on the minds of departments. However, It is important to have a balanced | ||
+ | perspective and properly weigh the risk of lock-in against the opportunities gained when | ||
+ | using as-a-service models. <br> | ||
+ | Information Technology has increasingly become commoditized. as-a-Service models and | ||
+ | public cloud are at the forefront of this commoditization. Using these services to modernize | ||
+ | application portfolios and at-risk technologies involves increasing reliance on private sector | ||
+ | providers. This brings with it the fear of lock-in. Lock-in is not unique to cloud, for years the | ||
+ | GC has been managing the exit strategy from a variety of technologies such as mainframe, | ||
+ | data centres, operating systems, databases, and Enterprise Resource Planning systems to | ||
+ | name a few. As this guide will show, the decision to commit to a technology and when to exit | ||
+ | cannot be driven by fear and risk alone, but must be weighed against the opportunity gained. | ||
+ | TBS guidance can be found here: https://wiki.gccollab.ca/images/5/52/02_-_Lockin_EN.pdf | ||

+ | |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 still not there yet. This represents a massive burden for small projects that will greatly limit innovation in the GoC if it persist. I will look at where we spent this money, then share my advice for small projects looking to prototype new services in government and share some thoughts on the broader implications for government. | ||

+ | |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 quick and agile deployment and marked success of the COVID-19 horizontal cloud has shown the true potential of an open, horizontal, cloud-based platform when working across jurisdictions. From the geospatial perspective, the COVID-19 cloud clearly demonstrates how the federal government can work effectively, across departmental and jurisdictional boundaries, and respond to crises in a timely manner. In this presentation, we will explain how a horizontal cloud approach that leverages leading edge geospatial information could revolutionize the way departments and agencies respond to future emergencies: how the collaboration was formed and governed, what technology was put into place, how the data was shaped and presented, and the key outcomes of this highly successful collaboration. | ||

+ | |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 quickly 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. | ||

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. | ||
+ | We will cover topics such as: | ||
+ | * Partnership: Creating a multidisciplinary team across the organization to contribute directly to the platform. | ||
+ | * Azure Services: How we leveraged core cloud services to enable authentication for internal and external users across loosely coupled components. | ||
+ | * Process: Lightweight agile methodology, working in the open, and leveraging GitHub for repository management and CI/CD. | ||
+ | * Tooling: Some of the open tools and services we set up that give scientists quick access to auto-scaling compute, storage, and specialized hardware (e.g. GPUs). | ||
+ | * Example use case: Demonstrate an actual data science product created using our Advanced Analytics Workspace. | ||

+ | |The path to the cloud is essentially about change. Technical advancement is not the only area of our work that is changing. Across the government, more and more departments and teams are moving to a multi-disciplinary approach, moving away from projects and towards products, and recognizing the importance of conducting research with users to make data-driven product decisions. | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | A key element in how our work is changing is the focus on user outcomes rather than team outputs. This talk will focus specifically on product visioning and how our team at Code for Canada and Transport Canada developed a product vision for ongoing work aimed at transforming the seafarer certification process with that goal of achieving positive outcomes | ||
