Use event-driven architecture to design for DevOps 2.0

Source – techtarget.com When we begin to think about how DevOps 2.0 will function, event-driven architecture is a good place to start. An “event” can range from a left click of a mouse button to a request for a hotel reservation. The important thing to understand, though, is that in event-driven architecture, no one can really predict where a message will end up. The fact that event notifications can go anywhere at anytime has definite implications for systems in terms of design, implementation and

Interview: CyberArk tells why DevOps must adopt ‘secure innovation by the numbers’

Source – securitybrief.com.au DevOps is becoming a major force across software development. For various reasons, security can be sidelined until far later in the development process – but there’s also a movement that is putting security rightly where it belongs – at the beginning. That’s the essence of DevSecOps, which maintains that security by design should be central to any strategy. Elizabeth Lawler is CyberArk’s vice president of DevOps Security.

From One-Size-Fits-All to Custom-Fit for IT Ops

Source – devops.com Here is how enterprise IT Ops used to work: you would make your choice among the Big Four vendors and buy in (quite literally!) to their strategy.
