Ops with AWS

Amazon Web Services completed 10 years in 2016, and who would have imagined a computer and storage renting company would compete with the likes of Googles and Microsofts of the world. As a matter of fact, AWS is a leader in cloud infrastructure, as per Gartner’s report, leading past everyone, including Microsoft and Google.

DevSecOps: Building Security into Your DevOps Processes

DevOps enables organizations that embrace the movement and culture to be more competitive by enabling faster, more reliable software releases by leveraging automation to replace manual processes involved in shipping software. A side effect of this speed is that security tools and processes need to move at the same pace to keep up. The idea driving DevSecOps or Rugged DevOps is to bake the security testing of the application under development into the process used to ship it.

From the CEO's Desk: TestOps at the Speed of DevOps

DevOps has been a much talked about trend in recent years. Obviously, I am advocating DevOps along with most of the software professionals who are now reaping the benefits of the collaboration between the Dev and Ops teams, which is helping them release software faster than ever before. With DevOps, now that we have reduced the time taken for software delivery from a few weeks to a few hours, we also need our testing and QA teams to gear up to ensure that the delivered software is what everyone expects it to be.

Introduction to Heptio Ark

An Ark is a vessel or sanctuary that is supposed to serve as protection against extinction. The most famous Ark in history is Noah’s Ark, which the Bible says was built with instructions from God to protect Noah’s family and the pairs of animals he was instructed to bring on board. A more modern Ark would be the Svalbard Global Seed Vault which stores seeds in case of a global crisis.

Blue/Green Deployment with AWS Part - II

In my last blog, I talked about the blue/green deployment and the use of AWS services in blue/green deployment. In this blog, I will mainly talk about blue/green deployment using the DNS redirection with Route 53.

DevSecOps- Next Stride for DevOps

The global IT market is expanding at warp speed, and IT spending is now touching a figure of $4 Trillion. In the current scenario, data is the biggest commodity. Data is more valuable and powerful than ever. And like Uncle Ben Parker said, “With great power comes great responsibility.” Security has always been a big concern for valuable things, and IT is no exception. IT is trying to bring the security factor more leftwards in a development cycle. Rather, they are trying to involve it in every step of the development cycle.
