There has been a lot of buzz about the relationship between Security and DevOps as if we are debating their happy companionship. To me they are soulmates, and DevSecOps is a workable, scalable, and quantifiable fact unlike the big button if applied wisely.

What is DevOps?

The development cycle has undergone considerable changes in last few years. Customers and clients have evolving requirements and the market demands speed, and quality. The relationship between developers and operations have grown much closer to address this change. IT infrastructure has evolved in parallel to cater to quick timelines, and release cycles. The old legacy infrastructure with multiple toll gates if drifting away, and fast, responsive API(s) are taking place to spawn and scale vast instances of software and hardware.

It’s the kind of evening that anyone would expect me to be sitting in office for a snacks time conversation. But today due to some power problems, we called the day off pretty early. I was feeling a little restless, so came out and walked into a Cafe Coffee Day (CCD) to have an Expresso. On the table next to me, there is a group of teens discussing about Facebook, Orkut etc. How fast is this culture of Social Networking spreading among the students and the professionals! No wonder the sites like Facebook, Twitter, Orkut, MySpace are generating millions of dollars from our time! What they need from us is a registration, a 1/2 an hour or more of daily login, some online clicks and some chit chat. And in return they get money money and loads of money from the amount of time we enjoy social networking.
