Podcast about DevSecOps

Straight-up tech talk by practitioners, for practitioners

This is the show by and for DevSecOps practitioners who are trying to survive information overload, get through marketing nonsense, do right technology bets, help their organizations to deliver value and last but not the least to have some fun. Tune in for talks about technology, ways of working and news from DevSecOps.

We created this podcast because we realized that we were not the only ones to struggle with security on a daily basis. It is also difficult to find information without marketing content or a product pitch. We don’t intend to sell anything, now or later.

This show is not sponsored by any technology vendor and we are trying to be as unbiased as possible. We talk like no one is listening. For good or bad 😉.

What is DevSecOps

As DevOps improved the collaboration between developers (dev) and operations (ops), DevSecOps includes security aspects into the development and operation of applications. It adds the dimension of security to a DevOps culture.

Enjoy the talks and feel free to participate.

#24 - Ways To Protect Yourself From Data Breaches And Mitigate Consequences - ep.#24

Last week (week 6, 2021), seven data breaches were announced. In this episode, we discuss the possible scenarios for preventing attackers from getting a hold of your data, whether private or company data. And tips on how to mitigate the consequences of data leaks in cases when you have no control over data management (think of breach of 3rd party service).

#21 - Surviving AWS Outage - ep.#21

AWS had a severe incident at the end of November. Kinesis in us-east-1 went dark for quite some time, and a ripple effect caused degradation of other services like CloudWatch, ECS, and others. As a Cloud Engineering practitioner, how do you get yourself and your organization ready for a such turn of events?

#19 - Deleting Resources in the Cloud - ep.#19

How to decommission resources from your cloud environment to keep it clean? What to do when a resource is created without being in the infrastructure code? Andrey is going through a checklist he uses to delete resources and the utility serverless functions he wrote. Argo CD is a project that does GitOps and automatically deletes resources in Kubernetes namespaces if they are not defined. We talked about the different layers of abstraction for infrastructure as code and where it makes sense to have a Terraform controller in a Kubernetes cluster to manage the application dependencies.

#18 - HashiConf Special - ep.#18

Initially, we planned this episode as a discussion about HashiCorp Nomad and invited Jacob Lärfors. He recently published a great article about his experience working with Nomad (see link in the show notes). However, because of a few postponements, and with HashiConf that happened just a week ago, we decided to extend the podcast’s scope to go over all of the announcements that they did during the conference. So here it is — HashiConf special: all you need to know about everything that HashiCorp announced during the conference plus a discussion about Nomad!
