We’ve been talking about DevSecOps and shift-left security for years. Although this approach probably didn’t “cross the chasm” in 2021, we did see some very telling milestones.

There are some text editors which are meant purely for… Well, not development. Here are some examples of such editors. You’ll realize that they are meant and are created for other use cases…

Forget learning how to make calculator or use many other languages like JS, TS, Python… Build a real simple app for single purpose in maximum of 3 months will get you hired, from experience.

A good DevSecOps strategy goes beyond having the right tools and processes in place: it requires consistent and crucially, bi-directional feedback and learning. Both security and engineering teams have such different priorities and strengths, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have anything to learn from each other. This year, make it a resolution to create a culture of bi-directional learning between these two teams and reap the benefit of improved collaboration. Here are the top things one can learn from the other to break down silos in the name of DevSecOps.

Need help setting up a monitoring system? Here’s a complete, easy to deploy, dockerised monitoring system for a local development environment with email alerts.

The open source software Prometheus is an effective and reliable way of monitoring a software service like a web application. It will monitor your service and notify you when it goes down. In addition Prometheus also collects numerous kinds of metric data from the target for diagnostics and display purposes. Presented below is a convenient and reliable docker compose script with a complete ensemble of components useful for running a complete Prometheus monitoring system in a local environment for evaluation and integration testing purposes. Be operational with one docker command. Included in the compose design are containers for Prometheus, Prometheus Alertmanager, Mailhog (a test SMTP server) and some Python code acting as a target to be continuously monitored. Prometheus is also able to monitor code developed in Node, Java, Ruby, Go, Rust, C++, C# and PHP to name a few [3]. Easily update the compose script to incorporate your particular service to be monitored.

Virtual environments are invaluable tools for developers be they data scientists, software/cloud/DevOps engineers and system administrators. They provide you with quick disposable environments for experimentation, testing and endless fresh starts.

Containers have been around since the 1970s for creating an isolated environment where applications and services can run without interfering with other processes.

Building a modern application often involves building it as a microservice, which provides developers with more flexibility and agility in terms of deployment options.

Semver is a specification outlining a method of encoding the nature of change between releases of a “public interface”,

In this article we would revisit to see:

- Pre-requisites to configure on the kubernetes cluster deployed on GKE to connect from Jenkins

- Configuration/Plugins Required on the Jenkins

- How we can execute the simple manifest file ( Kind: Deployment/ Pod)
