You get comfortable in four rooms. Whose landing zone. Which DISA desk. Who signs. What the floor is. Then you name the door.
The method. These vignettes are the rooms. Comfort is the work — not another inventory.
Papers · standalone
You support a JWCC IL5 landing zone — or you consume it. Hosted is AWS or Azure. On-site is Google Distributed Cloud in the building, with first production at month 24. The mission does not land in a blessed tenancy until that path is IATT or ATO. Preparing does not wait. IATO is gone. This kit does not occupy IL6.
AWSPaper · standalone · IL5 and belowEngage the vehicle. Request the GovCloud landing zone. Seek IATT, then ATO. Thunderdome is how people arrive. Other missions sit in other VPCs. The pipe to AWS is 10 Gig at the floor, 100 Gig more likely. Nothing here is an ATO.
ONPaper · on-ramp · IL5 and belowThe landing zone goes through RMF as a platform. The mission application goes through RMF as a system. They do not sign each other. The app will not be 100% inherited cloud-native. It will be an iterative, resilient architecture. Nothing here is an ATO.
