DISA Thunderdome — Kafka & NiFi on Multi-Cloud

Q2 2023 – Q4 2023

Confluent KafkaApache NiFiAWS EKSAzure AKSKubernetes

Challenge

DISA required real-time ingestion of massive network security logs across DoD multi-cloud environments (EKS + AKS) with zero tolerance for data loss or latency.

Solution

Designed and deployed a Confluent Kafka + Apache NiFi pipeline architecture on Kubernetes across both AWS EKS and Azure AKS, delivered via full CI/CD automation with GitOps-managed configuration.

Outcomes

  • 10TB+ daily security log ingestion
  • 99.9% uptime across multi-cloud deployment
  • 60% reduction in log processing latency
  • Enabled real-time threat detection at DoD scale

Millennium Bank

IBM MQ RDQM High-Availability Cluster

Q1 2023 – Q3 2023

IBM MQRDQMRHEL 9.3AnsiblePython

Challenge

Legacy IBM MQ deployment had no automated failover or disaster recovery. Manual operations created risk of extended outages and message loss during incidents.

Solution

Deployed IBM MQ RDQM clusters on RHEL 9.3 with Ansible-automated day-2 operations, comprehensive DR runbooks, and a fully documented operator playbook.

Outcomes

  • 99.99% message delivery guarantee
  • Zero-downtime automated failover
  • 50% reduction in manual operational tasks
  • Full DR automation with tested recovery procedures

CoreLogic / Capital Group

RabbitMQ to Kubernetes Operator Migration

Q3 2022 – Q1 2023

RabbitMQKubernetes OperatorOpenShiftHelmGitOps

Challenge

CoreLogic's monolithic RabbitMQ deployment couldn't scale and required excessive manual intervention. Capital Group needed a multi-tenant security model with modern operational tooling.

Solution

Migrated 200+ message queues to the RabbitMQ Kubernetes Operator on OpenShift using GitOps-managed Helm charts. Implemented multi-tenant vHost security model and trained the operations team.

Outcomes

  • 200+ queues migrated without message loss
  • Multi-tenant security model implemented
  • 40% improvement in resource utilization
  • 15+ engineers trained on new platform
