Hey everybody. My name is Zack Novak, and I’m a data engineer at Second Front Systems. We are building a platform as a service to support bringing commercial technology into the Department of Defense and other government agencies. We want to use Prefect, but can’t as it is not in the Department of Defense’s hardened container repository called Ironbank. Has Prefect gone through this Ironbank onboarding previously / would this be something Prefect is interested in? Currently the only two DoD approved workflow solutions are Airflow and Argo, and Prefect is the preferred solution over those two.

Would you know if we need a government sponsor? and if there’s someone who can sponsor us?

@Kevin Kho As a heads up - Second Front’s security team has stated they’re happy to help regarding any questions your team may have if you are interested in applying. I’ve stated the benefits of Prefect over Airflow / Argo enough to have sold them on Prefect as well haha.
