Since entering the scene in the late 2000s, DevOps has changed the way development and IT operations teams collaborate together to produce and deploy new digital services, apps, features, and updates. DevOps has helped to streamline the production process to ensure more efficient workflows and a more reliable service. This created a shared responsibility between development and operations teams to collaborate together with the goal of creating a premium product or service for their customers.

At this point, it’s fair to say that containers and Kubernetes changed the dynamics of infrastructure and platforms. It’s no secret that even though managing Kubernetes clusters is still somewhat complex, in the early days, it was even harder, which is when we saw solutions such as Rancher come up to help us address those challenges.

Much of the fuel for today’s business organizations is comprised of cloud computing and digital and SaaS applications.

Migrating your on-prem infrastructure to the cloud offers a host of benefits, including scalability, mobility, security, and cost reduction. When it comes to cloud network monitoring, tracking the availability and performance of the cloud services your applications rely on becomes even more important. However, moving from self-managed infrastructure to third party–managed services introduces a number of challenges.

DevOps, DevSecOps and CI/CD are synonymous with one word - automation. Automating their workflows gives developers the ability to deliver consistency, time savings, and useful insights into their software development life cycle (SDLC). But automation is only as efficient as your weakest link or most cumbersome bottleneck, which can sometimes be security testing. Security testing has traditionally been carried out either manually or quite late in the process.
