In 2019, Chaillan <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20201010151212/https://gcn.com/articles/2020/01/07/af-kubernetes-f16.aspx">challenged</a> the Air Force’s SoniKube software factory to install Kubernetes on an F-16 fighter jet in 45 days “to demonstrate that it could be done,” he said in a presentation.</p> <p>Chaillan explained that to get the containers working on the jets, the team had to "bring the entire stack,” which included the Cloud One infrastructure layer, the enterprise services and hardened containers layer and the applications.</p> <p>The software was developed at the U-2 Federal Laboratory, an organization dedicated to speeding the delivery of advanced technologies to the battlefield by bringing the warfighter, developer and acquirer together under one roof. It promotes “edge development,” where new software is integrated with operational systems in a bounded, safe environment.</p> <p>“The integration of Kubernetes onto the U-2 capitalizes on the aircraft’s high altitude line of sight and makes it even more survivable in a contested environment, said Col. Heather Fox, 9th Reconnaissance Wing commander. “We look forward to working with other platforms across the DoD to export this incredible capability.”</p>   <div class="aboutAuthor"> <p id="ph_pcontent2_0_AuthorInfo_AboutAuthor" class="author">About the Author</p> <p> <strong></strong> <p>Susan Miller is executive editor at GCN. </p><p> Over a career spent in tech media, Miller has worked in editorial, print production and online, starting on the copy desk at IDG’s ComputerWorld, moving to print production for Federal Computer Week and later helping launch websites and email newsletter delivery for FCW.
