DevSecOps- building a security foundation into DevOps

In this new world of technology, DevOps isn’t just about development and operations teams. If you want to take full advantage of the agility and responsiveness of a DevOps approach for rapid and frequent development cycles IT security must be included.

Building a security foundation into DevOps initiatives is DevSecOps- The concept plays an important role in the application and infrastructure security from the beginning.

Whether you call it “DevOps” or “DevSecOps,” it has always been ideal to include security, And DevSecOps is all about built-in security.

The most Important points of DevSecOps are

1.??????What amount of security controls are necessary

2.??????How important is speed

3.??????Determine risk tolerance and conduct a risk/benefit analysis

4.??????Automating repeated tasks can be time intensive

5.??????Understanding of what to automate, and how

New automation technologies have helped organizations adopt more agile development practices.

Microservices and containers together are the foundation for cloud-native application development

To quickly address new problems and add new features, A microservice-based approach to building apps helps solve these issues and boost development and response to deliver quality software, faster. It is an architecture and an approach to writing software. With microservices, applications are broken down into their smallest components, independent from each other.

The most important points in Microservices are

1.??????Breaking your apps into microservices

2.???????Manage and orchestrate them

3.??????Deal with the data they create and modify.

4.??????Microservices make the process more easier to build, test, deploy, and update.

When your business needs the ultimate portability across multiple environments, use containers.

By deploying integration technologies in containers, so you can easily scale how you connect apps and data, like real-time data streaming through Apache Kafka.

Containers are executable units of software in which application code is packaged, along with its libraries and dependencies, in common ways so that it can be run anywhere, whether it be on desktop, traditional IT, or the cloud.

Containerizing an application- the process includes packaging an application with its relevant environment variables, configuration files, libraries, and software dependencies.

Instead of virtualizing the underlying hardware, containers virtualize the operating system, An individual container contains only the application, its libraries and dependencies. Containers virtualize the operating system instead of hardware, By Making absence of the guest OS, Containers are so lightweight, fast and portable. While in Virtual Machines it only virtualize Hardware as a result, multiple VMs required to run on a single machine and each VM includes a full copy of an operating system, the application, necessary binaries and libraries which takes more GB’s and make the process slow to boot.

There is no need to totally overhaul your existing systems to get meaningful benefits. Through open source, open standards, and years of experience, we can help you find a solution that fits your organization. We give you the infrastructure, platform, control, and knowledge to take advantage of everything containers have to offer.
