Top DevSecOps Tools in 2022!

With increasing cyber threats, security has become a major bottleneck in rapid product delivery for enterprises today. Here’s how these top DevSecOps tools can help. Take a look!

DevSecOps is a term that’s short for Development, Security, and Operations. No doubt, this term has become the latest buzzword in the market nowadays. The “DevSecOps” methodology is based and built on the same principles as DevOps, but it is slightly different from it. Here’s how!

The DevSecOps approach incorporates security at all stages of the development workflow. In simpler words, DevSecOps is like DevOps plus security. When we talk about security in DevSecOps, it specifically refers to pipeline security, secure development lifecycle and embedding security policies to mitigate emerging risks, cyber threats & malicious attacks.

There is a wide variety of DevSecOps tools and software to encompass enterprise-grade DevSecOps practices in the software development lifecycle. Here, in this blog, we’ve picked some of the best DevSecOps tools available in the market today.

Let’s take a look at these top DevSecOps tools in 2022, NOW!

A Detailed Guide to Canary Deployments!

While building enterprise applications, you want to ensure that your customers have a bug-free user experience. Since bugs show up whenever a new code is deployed, your deployment process should be set up to identify bugs at an advanced stage before these bugs can affect your users.

Here’s how canary deployment comes into the picture and takes care of everything to enable a seamless and bug-free app release ensuring a flawless experience for your users. Learn and know more about Canary deployment, its different stages, the benefits of implementing canary deployments and how they are different from blue-green deployments on AWS and ECS, here in this blog. Let’s take a look!

An Introduction to Service Mesh Architecture!

In its 2020 Cloud-Native Survey most recent report, The Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) found that the use of service mesh in production jumped 50% in the last year.

You can read about Service Mesh, the benefits of deploying a Service Mesh, and ISTIO architecture, here in the given links!

– An Introduction to ISTIO Service Mesh & its Architecture!

With the popularization of microservices architectures, there has emerged the need of using a Service Mesh. The use of Service mesh in Kubernetes is the most thought-after step to overcome security and networking challenges obstructing Kubernetes deployment and container adoption.

Let’s read and explore more on Service Mesh, its architecture, components and popular solutions for service meshes, here in this article. Here, we’ll know talk about,

Observability for Monitoring Microservices — Top 5 Ways!

Knowing what’s running inside the container, how the application and code are performing is critical for tackling important issues. Discussed here are some important Microservices monitoring tools and approaches. Take a look!

With Microservices architecture becoming the de facto standard for web applications now, effective debugging and anomaly detection calls for a system that is observable — which means, the internal state of an application can be inferred by observing and tracking the metrics, traces and logs.

Observability is all about data exposure and easy access to information required to find issues when the communications fail, internal events do not occur as expected or events occur when they shouldn’t. Here, you’ll learn and know about different Microservices monitoring tools and how to monitor Microservices. Let’s take a look!

Monitoring Microservices using a predefined set of metrics and logs helps in understanding the actual health status of applications. The way how services interact with each other at runtime needs to be monitored, managed and controlled for identifying issues within the app.

Microservices Observability and monitoring microservices are crucial for understanding how apps are functioning and for identifying issues to prevent failures in advance. How to monitor microservices has become a common issue for enterprises these days.

Here is an overview of the approach that some of the platforms are taking to provide the engineering teams with complete observability for monitoring app performance and gauging its health status. Also, discussed here is a list of some popular microservices monitoring tools to know the insights and performance of the Microservices.

How to Build a Successful DevSecOps Pipeline?

Introducing DevSecOps!

With critical DevSecOps services coming to the fore, businesses have actually begun to realize how important it is to ensure security within each stage of the DevOps lifecycle. But still, there are many who do have proper clarity on the difference between DevOps and DevSecOps. No matter, you call it “DevOps” or “DevSecOps,” the term is related to the process of including security practices as a major part of the entire app life cycle.

DevSecOps, in simple words, means development, security and operations. It’s a process of implementing security practices and actions in the DevOps lifecycle. It’s all about embedding security features and enhanced automation throughout the CI/CD pipeline for removing mistakes and reducing attacks & downtime.
