The Operations Coordinator plays a key role in DevSecOps. In my previous post, DevSecOps and Release Coordination, I introduced the idea of four key responsibilities in the DevSecOps mediated release management process. The idea is to consolidate the validation and approval steps from a “gated” process involving many approvers, and shift the actual work of […]

DevSecOps and Release – Security Architect
In my previous post, DevSecOps and Release Coordination, I introduced the idea of four key players in the DevSecOps mediated release management process. The idea is to consolidate the validation and approval steps from a “gated” process, and shift the actual work of validation earlier in development. In this post, we will explore the role […]
Secure Software Release Coordination
The ultimate goal of all software development is the secure software release of the system to a user-accessible production environment. However, the road from code to production is often a long and perilous one. To reduce the apparent risk associated with a production release, many organizations place “gates” at various points along the release path. […]
Cloud Resource Security – Shared Responsibility Model
In my previous post on Cloud Resources – Policy and Practice, I referenced the “shared security model” adopted by all cloud providers. In this post, we will dive deeper into the differences and consequences of sharing the responsibility for securing computing resources, applications, data, and networks. Whether your organization is extending into cloud-based resources or […]
DevSecOps and Release Coordination
The Release Coordination Challenge Release Day. There are few more terrifying words in the development team lexicon. This is the moment of truth; will our efforts be for nothing or will we out eke out another production release? And so many things can go wrong; have we missed critical requirements, did we failed to test […]
DevSecOps in the Cloud – Policy and Practice
Cloud computing is now ubiquitous throughout the software development industry. There are many cloud service providers offering everything from ‘bare-metal’ virtual servers to complete server-less computing platforms. The speed by which computing resources can be reserved and instantiated is a major contributing factor to the success of DevOps, where repeatability and automation is central. However, […]
