Code repositories

cloud.gov is built and maintained by a team within the General Services administration’s Technology Transformation Services (TTS), which has an open source policy that guides our work: we use and develop open source software, and we encourage you to reuse and adapt our work.

cloud.gov is an open source project based on Cloud Foundry with additional components built by our team and other community members. This includes using open source for security: We use a combination of ClamAV, AIDE and Snort on each system, with OpenZAP to do blackbox testing. We also run Prometheus and a full ELK stack with ElastAlert for additional monitoring and alerting. We do use a commercial tool for CIS benchmarking and further blackbox testing. We welcome you to audit our security or contribute to it — or to make any other kind of contribution, from documentation to design.

If you’d like to contribute security research, see our vulnerability disclosure policy.

If you’re interested in contributing to cloud.gov but not sure where to start, or if you have questions about contributing, feel free to join the 18F DevOps or open source chat channels and explain your question. You can also open an issue with your question in a relevant repository.

To contribute to these repositories, you’ll need to use a GitHub account, which is free to open and use. If you’re part of the federal government, many agencies have approved use of public repository services such as GitHub (some examples here).
