Software development in the past decades has moved from being perceived as a form of alchemy to something that can be quantified and managed. Alongside good project management practices, those working in the DevOps world rely on complex tools that enable a team to contribute code to a common objective. These enable team members to leave or join without taking with them the knowledge that only that hold, and allows…
Software process delivery is at a new speed that early release makes the success for any organization. Moving away from traditional Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), now IT organizations have already begun their journey to new-age architecture that supports digital transformation initiatives. The most supporting technology solution in this journey is ‘DevOps’! DevOps is viewed as a culture rather than a technology solution because of the culture-driven practices it brings to…
DevOps security is a term that refers to the practice of providing security to all the tools and processes that form part of the DevOps environment. This can be done by effectively implementing policies, procedures, technology and strategies throughout the DevOps lifecycle. Also known as DevSecOps, this practice has the main aim of increasing security levels via improved collaboration and sharing of responsibility. This needs to have a presence throughout…
Nowadays, security is a massive challenge for organizations across various industries all over the world. We have witnessed a data breach where the TalkTalk website was hacked exposing the data of 156,959 accounts, and the website lost £77m after the attack. Many IT professionals distanced themselves from this brand after the incident. Having said that, in the modern marketplace, high-velocity IT has laid the foundation for competitiveness in various fields….

Most of the time, DevOps consulting companies tend to focus more on bringing into…
At a time when variations on DevOps abound, get ready for the latest: GitOps. This new term promises to bring some order to what can be operational chaos and empower operational teams to leverage best practices learned from their developer counterparts. It’s early days yet for GitOps, but here’s what we think you need to understand about this new facet of DevOps. What is GitOps? Everyone we spoke with has…
In a simpler world, every CI/CD pipeline would need to support only one deployment platform. In the real world, multiplatform deployment (which means deploying an application to run on multiple OS platforms) is a must-have for many organizations. We live in an age of diverse operating systems and deploying for only one platform is often not an option. With that challenge in mind, let’s take a look at best practices…
It can sometimes feel frustrating to try to figure out how to do DevOps. That’s because DevOps is not about tools—there are lots of different tools that can help you succeed at DevOps. Nor is it about any really specific set of practices; although DevOps prioritizes things like automation and communication, it does not prescribe specific processes for enabling them. ps It can sometimes feel frustrating to try to figure…
The rise of DevOps has broken down silos and brought database administrators (DBAs) and application developers closer together to deliver software faster and in a more agile manner. This near-constant change driven by DevOps is reflected in the results of the Redgate 2019 State of SQL Server Monitoring Report. It reveals that 73% of organizations now deploy database changes multiple times per month, and 15% deploy multiple times per day,…

When AWS announced Lambda–a serverless Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) technology offering–the idea of encapsulating a specific task into a function that resides in the cloud was introduced into mainstream access. Now, with the rising popularity of microservices, DevOps is waking up the benefits of FaaS where it is used to build and maintain enterprise applications in agile environments. The move to serverless architecture using FaaS is one organization that is now increasingly…

Unlike the traditional waterfall model, the DevOps process engages different teams in its mission to achieve continuous development, integration, deployment, and monitoring throughout the product lifecycle. The DevOps process demands…
Preconceived notions and divisions make building security into the software development life cycle an uphill battle for many organizations. Security teams have long had the reputation of being “out of process” — that they add requirements, complicate processes, and disrupt DevOps. “The reality is that building security into the development process — be it agile, DevOps, DevSecOps, or a mix thereof — remains a significant challenge for many reasons, beginning…
I recently had the pleasure of moderating a lively discussion with security leaders at the SINET Innovation Summit 2019 in New York. The conversation explored one central question: Can security and DevOps coexist? DevOps is a well-adopted practice that fosters an agile relationship between development and IT operations by advocating better communication and collaboration between these two business units. Every organization represented on the panel (including two of the largest…
