A primer on DevSecOps, bruh!
What is DevSecOps?
DevSecOps is a philosophy and practice that seeks to integrate security considerations into every stage of the software development and delivery process, from design and development to testing, deployment, and ongoing maintenance. The goal of DevSecOps is to build security into software from the ground up, rather than trying to bolt it on at the end of the development process. This approach enables organizations to deliver software faster and with a higher level of security.
DevSecOps relies on a number of tools and technologies to achieve this goal. Some of the key tools and technologies used in DevSecOps include:
- Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment (CD) tools: These tools are used to automate the building, testing, and deploying of software. By integrating security testing and monitoring into the CI/CD pipeline, DevSecOps teams can catch and fix security issues earlier in the development process, reducing the risk of costly delays or breaches.
- Containerization technologies such as Docker: Containerization allows developers to package their application and its dependencies into a lightweight and portable container that can be easily deployed and scaled on any infrastructure. This enables DevSecOps teams to more easily manage and secure the underlying infrastructure and dependencies of the application.
- Orchestration and management tools such as Kubernetes: These tools are used to automate the deployment, scaling, and management of applications and services in the cluster. They allow DevSecOps teams to ensure that applications are running in a reliable and available manner and to quickly roll out updates and fixes.
- Secrets management tools such as Hashicorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault and Google Cloud Secret Manager: These tools are used to securely store, manage, and rotate secrets and other sensitive data in a secure manner.
- Configuration management…
