DevOps

This talk looked at about transformation to Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery, and DevOps. For a large, heavily regulated industry, this task can not only be daunting, but viewed by many as impossible. Often, organizations try to reduce the friction through micro-fixes, but Eddie’s team asked how to change the culture to reduce the friction and concluded with the following final points: Don’t mandate DevOps. Give employees the chance to master their discipline with examples to set and follow. Favor deep end-to-end accomplishments over broad but incremental steps forward. Focus on taking the right teams far before encouraging broad adoption. Centralize the platforms and tools that your teams shouldn’t be thinking about. Provide foundational services/commodities and let teams stay on purpose. Incorporate contributions from everyone; don’t stifle autonomy. Stay open to new ways of working. Challenge security policies, but respect intentions. Find new ways to enforce concerns without abandoning precaution.

Integrity Monitoring for Containerized Applications: Ensuring Security Through Hash Functions Containerized applications have revolutionized software deployment, but they also present unique security challenges. One crucial aspect of container security is integrity monitoring. This blog post explores how to implement robust integrity monitoring using hash functions to protect your containerized applications from malicious modifications. What is Integrity Monitoring? Integrity monitoring is a security process that checks a container’s file system for unauthorized changes. It ensures that files haven’t been maliciously modified, updated, or added. If any compromises are detected, the system can automatically roll back the deployment to a previous, secure version. ...
