API Security in DevOps: Are We Too Comfortable?

Source:-devops.com Postman performed its annual survey of developers, and as this survey and many other surveys have shown, developers are generally comfortable with the level of API security that their organization has implemented.

Knowing the rate of change going on in Agile/DevOps shops, and knowing the complexity of environment, I think

How to stop failing at DevOps

Source:-techbeacon.com Although more than 60% of organizations have adopted DevOps at some level, according to Forrester, many continue to struggle with it. One reason: DevOps isn’t a hard-coded set of practices or principles, and this often leads to confusion and uncertainty, from the IT trenches all the way up to the C-suite. This confusion is exacerbated by deep-rooted, conventional attitudes that are at cross-purposes with the lean/Six Sigma methodologies that formed the inspiration for DevOps. Just like the manufacturing firms

Continuous delivery in DevOps: making releases dull and reliable

Source:- devopsonline.co.uk There is some healthy tension between a good DevOps team and the concept of continuous delivery. In the past, a simple agile team would build products and let the delivery manager worry about what happens in production. With the coming together of Dev and Ops, as the portmanteau term suggests, things are different. The more operationally minded engineers will look closely at the performance of the product in the live environment and push back on design assumptions that

DevOps vs. the juice cleanse: Only one is a passing fad

Source:- enterprisersproject.com It’s easy to put off DevOps as just another trend: Culture change is hard. But your competitors aren’t waiting Many organizations view DevOps as aspirational.

This whole scenario reminds me of the joke about two hunters in the woods who come

Agile Deserves The Hype, But It Can Also Fail: How To Avoid The Pitfalls

Source :- forbes.com ‘Agile’ has earned its place in the business lexicon: it’s no buzzword or passing craze.
