DevOps Institute Brandjacking: When Imitation is Not the Sincerest Form of Flattery

DevOps Institute Brandjacking

“There can be only one”    ~ Duncan McCloud, Highlander They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Often it is absolutely true. But stealing, ripping off and/or trying to trade on the name of others crosses the line between right and wrong, legal and illegal. As a co-founder of the true, one and […]

Building a Security Feedback Process for DevOps

The last few years have seen some major slip-ups in the security space among all major cloud providers, resulting in uncertainty and speculation. That’s understanding; cloud security is an extremely complicated subject as enterprises build and deploy applications faster than ever before to keep up with business requirements. Most of the security issues that occur […] The post Building a Security Feedback Process for DevOps appeared first on DevOps.com . from DevOps.com http://bit.ly/2L1DS7t

Postman Adds AI Agent to Automate API Development and Governance

Postman added an artificial intelligence (AI) agent to its portfolio of tools and platforms for building and governing application programming interfaces (APIs) that can autonomously perform tasks ranging from development and documentation to exploration and setting up integrations with continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) environments. Company CEO Abhinav Asthana said the Autonomous API Engineer significantly reduces the total cost of building and maintaining APIs by automating time-consuming tasks that have historically created bottlenecks in software engineering workflows. In fact, the AI agent developed by Postman will make it significantly simpler to integrate API development and testing within those workflows, said Asthana. Designed to be triggered from a pull request, Slack, Postman command line interface (CLI) or the Postman app, the Autonomous API Engineer spins up a secure, sandboxed environment. It then executes tasks and returns verified artifacts, includ...

Why the Software Development Tools you Choose Directly Affect Your CI/CD Reliability 

Most conversations about CI/CD reliability start in the wrong place. Teams debug flaky pipelines, investigate intermittent failures, tune alerting thresholds and optimize build times. All of that work is legitimate. However, the decisions that most directly determine whether a CI/CD pipeline is reliable or not were made months or years earlier, during tool selection. By the time teams are debugging pipeline reliability, they are usually dealing with the downstream consequences of upstream decisions that seemed reasonable at the time.   The software development tools a team chooses shape their CI/CD pipeline in ways that are not always visible during evaluation. Understanding those connections is the most practical starting point for teams that want reliable pipelines rather than better pipeline firefighting.   The Integration Surface Problem   Every tool in a software development stack creates an integration surface. Integration surface is the set of connections a tool has with oth...
