Realizing the benefits of container DevSecOps with AWS

AWS DevSecOps Container Pipeline workshop at DevOps Days Houston Workshop available at https://aws.containerdevsecops.io/ In this workshop Engineers will learn how to secure their container pipeline using AWS and other Cloud Native tools. This will be part Lecture and part hands on. We will be working through the following topics: Introduction Workshop Setup Development Environment Container Builds Container Pipeline Running Containers We will be using these tools and techniques to secure a container pipeline and runtime.

Networking and Kubernetes Early Release

This past year Vallery Lancey and I have been working on a Kubernetes Networking Book. I am proud to announce that we have an early release of Chapters 1-3 of the book available on O’Reilly Digital platform. Kubernetes Networking is an essential guide for anyone who wants to deploy, manage, or troubleshoot a production-scale Kubernetes network. Understanding Kubernetes clusters isn’t enough to operate Kubernetes at scale. Every layer of the stack–the network, operating system, and Kubernetes–depends on the layer below.

A Cloud Guru Advanced Networking with Kubernetes on AWS

I’ve spent the last year created a course for A Cloud Guru. With 3.4 hours of content and 36 lessons, I look forward to your feedback. Here is my “Advanced Networking with Kubernetes on AWS” Course. Since its release in 2014, Kubernetes has become the de-facto standard for container orchestration. Kubernetes is a distributed system for managing containers and its networking is no different. Many companies are deploying Kubernetes on-prem and in the cloud, both managed offerings and self-deployed.

AWS Cloud Governance & Security through Automation

At the August meetup for Atlanta AWS Builders group Jason Lutz and I presented on AWS Security. Presentation: https://www.slideshare.net/jstrong09/aws-dev-secops-atlanta-august-meetup Is that requirement from NIST 800-53 Controls or NIST 800-190? If you’ve ever wondered where those pesky cloud security controls come from, this meetup is for you. In this Meetup, Jame Strong and Jason Lutz from Contino (an AWS Permier Consulting Partner) will discuss how Contino views DevSecOps. They will review the Benefits of DevSecOps:

Containers and DevSecops

DevOps is established, and containers are all the rage, but we forget about security! Let’s talk about DevSecOps and Containers. We’re going to show you how to inject security into your Container Pipelines. Don’t have a pipeline? Don’t worry, because we’ll fix that too. In this talk, James Strong, Cloud Native Director at Contino and AWS APN Ambassador, will share knowledge around container security and building a DevSecOps pipeline in AWS with no servers.
