What’s in Your Containers? Try an Open Source Tool to Find Out

Source:-technewsworld.com As most security pros know, application containers — Docker, rkt, etc. — and the orchestration elements employed to support them, such as Kubernetes, are used increasingly in many organizations. Often the security organization isn’t exactly the first stop on the path to deployment of these tools. (If it was in your shop, consider yourself one of the lucky ones.) Instead, usage tends to emerge from the grass roots. It starts with developers using containers on their workstations to streamline

DevOps Transformation: Leave No Ops Behind

Source – devops.com Have you ever found yourself struggling to explain something that you know how to do without a moment’s thought? I’m not talking about the amygdala, the part of our brain that initiates the automatic “fight or flight” response. No, I’m referring more to the muscle memory-type behaviors that we’ve collected through life and, likely, pay little attention to while executing. Things We Take for Granted Muscle memory is awesome.

The big opportunities in serverless computing

Windows DevOps tools rehab legacy enterprise applications

Source – techtarget.com As Microsoft shops struggle to modernize legacy apps that weren’t designed for distributed cloud environments, they must also rethink the infrastructure where these apps are deployed. Most enterprises have at least one application that’s so old, no one on the current IT team recalls how it was written, nor understands the finer intricacies of its management.

How Agile, DevOps, and Continuous Integration Changed Software Architecture

Source – techwell.com You can’t talk about modern software development and testing without bringing up modern techniques and concepts like agile, DevOps, and continuous integration. We’re a fast-twitch industry thanks to the modernization of team and testing dynamics, and that increase in speed has forced other aspects of the process to become equally as malleable and fluid. For the longest time, software architecture was something you built, adapted to your team or situation, and left in place—the old “if it ain’t

Can DevOps help us save lives?

Source – techtarget.com A former U.S. Marine wants software developers and architects to get more in touch with their feelings. In fact, their lives may very well depend on it. Ken Mugrage, the former Marine who is also a technology evangelist at ThoughtWorks, led a session at the 2017 O’Reilly Software Architecture Conference in New York City, presented a session in which he talked about burnout that software developers and managers can experience in enterprise environments – and how DevOps can
