Next Gen Platform (NGP) and PyPE Replacement Project - Update September 2022

The Next Generation Platform (NGP) project, commissioned by the Business and Administrative IT Leadership Council (BAITLC) to serve the development community and replace the existing PyPE platform will launch the UT Container Management Platform (CMP) service this September.

The UT CMP service initially will be utilized for customers migrating PyPE applications. After the initial onboarding for PyPE customers, additional departments will be invited to use the UT CMP service to deploy Python-based applications. In the future, additional languages will be supported, including PHP- and Java-based applications, and a cloud-based service will be created to augment the on-premise service.   

An AWS-base platform will also be developed, so that UT CMP and the UT AWS Platform meet the needs of developers across the campus.

In preparation for the launch of UT CMP and retiring PyPE in March 2024, the PyPE-DEM Transitions Team is reaching out to departments and developers to identify projects that:

  1. can be deleted because the project is inactive or no longer needed
  2. will be migrated to another system, including to UT CMP
  3. are already moved to another system, e.g., DEM, but need to have routing maintained and updated before PyPE is retired
  4. need to be retired with PyPE (will not migrate but must remain in PyPE until its retirement)

Departments also will need to confirm their assignment into a transition group time slot for migrating their projects; the transition groups were tentatively assigned based on PyPE-data analysis and from responses to last December’s survey.
