The Unicorn Delivery Service (UDS) is a software delivery platform built for teams operating in secure, constrained, or disconnected environments. It addresses a common challenge in defense and enterprise computing: getting modern software—with all its dependencies—into environments where internet access is limited or absent, compliance requirements are strict, and one-off platform configurations are a constant maintenance burden.
UDS provides a consistent, repeatable way to package, deliver, and run software across cloud, on-premises, and tactical edge environments. Whether you are standing up a new system quickly, maintaining an existing platform through software updates, or seeking an Authority to Operate (ATO), UDS gives teams the tooling and evidence to do so with confidence.
With UDS, platform and mission teams can:
UDS Core
The runtime platform that provides shared, security-hardened services to every application deployed on top of it. It handles networking, identity, logging, monitoring, runtime security, backup, and compliance—so application teams can focus on their software rather than the environment.
UDS CLI
The primary user interface for the UDS platform. It provides tools for packaging, deploying, and managing software on UDS Core—designed to be intuitive and flexible, supporting workflows from local development to production operations.
UDS Registry
A curated catalog of pre-built, scanned, and SBOMed UDS packages. The Registry gives teams a validated starting point—browse available packages, inspect CVE reports, and pull artifacts to deploy.
