No, this isn’t another post about the Secure Development Lifecycle. This is a practical post on why and how to address cloud security at each step of the infrastructure development lifecycle, from infrastructure as code in your IDE to running cloud resources.

Helm charts are an easy way to package, version and deploy applications on Kubernetes. They can be used to deploy application services or even Kubernetes components and tools.

Cloud configurations change. All the time. It’s futile to imagine web app development without a constant stream of configuration changes in order to adopt new technologies, release new features, and support new business requirements.

Deploying and managing cloud resources is faster and easier than ever, and we have infrastructure as code (IaC) to thank for it. With IaC, tedious manual configurations and one-off scripts are things of the past. Instead, you manage infrastructure with code in much the same way you would applications and services. This infrastructure can be anything from servers and databases to networks, Kubernetes clusters, and entire application stacks.
