In this episode, we discuss options for splitting your deployment stages. We hear people coming up with all possible types of environments — dev, test/QA, integration, stage, prod, etc. How many do you actually need? What is the reason for having all those stages? Maybe you need less? Why not deploy directly to production using some fancy technique? Put it simply — stage or not to stage?
Let’s talk about security in the era of remote work. Most of us have experienced a flaky VPN connection. What are the alternatives? SSH certificates? Yubikey? We discussed various topics around security inside a cluster and outside.
This time, we are joined by Henrik Høegh who shares his unique perspective on applying the theory of constraint to IT transformation as well as how it applies in the world of Cloud Native. We go back to the origin of DevOps, discussing the various problems companies are facing when transforming their organizations and adopting cultural changes.
Mattias wants to set up HashiCorp Vault and quizzes Andrey on how to do that. We cover a lot of ground — from basic Vault concepts to setting it up and hardening.
Julien and Andrey got together to define the scale and ways to automate the scaling of your infrastructure in response to changes in load patterns. What are the prerequisites for implementing scaling? What is cooling down, warm up, horizontal and vertical scaling, scale-up, and scale in? What are the metrics that could be useful for making scaling decisions? And last but not least, the very unexpected spin that Julien gives to the conversation.
This time we are discussing the white paper by Summit Route — AWS Security Maturity Roadmap 2020. Tune in to learn more about the white paper and recommendations that we pile up on top of it.
Our guest speaker is Anton Babenko, he is a DevSecOps Talks podcast fan, AWS Community Hero, Terraform fanatic, HashiCorp Ambassador and a prolific open source contributor. After listening to episode #9 Terraform in CI and #1 Infrastructure as Code, Anton decided that enough is enough and volunteered to give his point of view on Terragrunt since he thought that we are missing a few important points. In this episode, we are discussing the use cases of Terragrunt, a wrapper around Terraform for working with multiple environments and modules.
How do you start to implement a CI pipeline when dealing with infrastructure as code implemented via Terraform? What are the security concerns when the credentials to the whole kingdom are used in an automated process? In this episode, we discuss the various security and feasibility aspects of using Terraform in a CI pipeline.
Andrey tells us the story of how DevOps came into existence and took over the market. We discuss the marketing around it, its relationship with DevSecOps. We tried to shed a light on what is marketing strategy versus implementing DevOps in an organization. We also compared DevOps to SRE (Site Reliability Engineering).
In this episode, Mattias, Julien, and Andrey share tips and tricks on how to stay on top of what is going on in the industry, resources they use for continuous learning.
