Devops - CI/CD Pipelines for DevSecOps with Hybrid Cloud

Virtual Event

Please join us for our June meetup. Refact.it will be giving away a $50 gift card to one lucky attendee.

Abstract: Leveraging CI / CD pipelines, enterprises want to be able to automate in a hybrid world, with some on-premise and public cloud automation. Both enterprise and Department of Defense tech teams are facing a huge challenge as more and more IT infrastructure is moved to the cloud and made fully automated. The days of manual deployments of infrastructure are ending fast, and IT teams need automation tools to move towards the modernization of IT becoming code, including infrastructure and security. The key is to have the flexibility; developers must wear the DevOps engineer hat and operate on a platform that can accommodate CI/CD pipelines. The pipelines, in turn, must meld with DevOps tools to integrate with ticketing systems, run security remediation playbooks, deploy Kubernetes with a security benchmark, and even harden on-premise sensors.

This session will cover:
• What is DevSecOps
• What are CI / CD pipelines
• How CI / CD pipelines work for DevSecOps
• Why enterprises need hybrid CI / CD pipelines
• Real-world use cases of Hybrid Cloud CI / CD Pipelines for DevSecOps
