DevOps Chat

Aqua Security have established themselves as a leader in the container security space. Rani Osnat, VP of Aqua Security and a frequent guest gives us an update on the latest developments around Kubernetes, security controls and the newest version of AquaSec, 3.0.

This is the first in a new series of DevOps Chats that we will be recording featuring Derek Langone, CEO of XebiaLabs. Derek will be sharing his unique view as the CEO of one of the leading agents of DevOps transformation in the enterprise, XebiaLabs. If you are an executive looking at digital transformation, you should listen to what Derek has to say. Enjoy!

In his role as chief product officer at New Relic Jim Gochee has had a front row seat to dozens, if not hundreds of organizations undergoing digital transformation. He gives us some of his observations and tips in this interesting DevOps Chat. Enjoy!

In this DevOps chat we sit down with Judit Sharon, CEO of OnPage. OnPage has been providing alerting and incident management services primarily to the health care industry before DevOps was called DevOps. As DevOps has exploded on the scene, the security and functionality built into OnPage was a perfect fit for ITOps and DevOps teams. As a result OnPage has expanded beyond its Health Care industry roots to become a very popular solution in the DevOps space.

OnPage recently conducted a survey on the state of alerting in the IT Ops space. Judit gives us some insight into the findings, but you can download the full survey report at https://www.onpage.com/the-state-of-it-operations-ebook/.

Great conversation, enjoy!

Harry Sverdlove has a long history in security first at Carbon Black and now as the founder CTO of EdgeWise Networks which emerged from stealth last August. Edgewise has solutions around Network Security and the cloud. Many think network security does not apply to cloud, but oh yes it does. By the same token (no pun intended), network security plays with DevSecOps as well. Harry and I have a great discussion on this and more.

GitLab has a very complete and ambitious plan to offer a complete DevOps solution to its customer base. Leveraging open source plus great service and premium feature sets, GitLab has become a leader in the DevOps field. I spoke to GitLab CEO Sid Sijbrandij and new VP of product marketing, Ashish Kuthiala about the vision of GitLab being a single application for the whole software development and operations lifecycle.

Have you ever thought you had a great idea for a business, but weren't sure what comes next? Think you can do better than those people you work for now? Just had the dream of starting your own company? If so there is a new playbook for you. My friends Rajat Bhargava and Will Herman have written the Startup Playbook to help. We sit down with serial founder, Bhargava to discuss the new book, what is the best advice in there and 3 tips that every founder should know. A bit off of our usual DevOps, but a great chat. Enjoy!

Also, you can download a kindle version of the book for 99 cents! Here is the link: https://www.amazon.com/Startup-Playbook-Founder-Founder-Veterans-ebook/dp/B078QCRYWJ/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding

Finally a few times at the end I referred to the book as the Founders Playbook. I tried to dub in Starters Playbook, but frankly my interviewing skills are better than my sound engineer skills. Apologies.

Few areas in DevOps are hotter than continuous testing. Automating various types of tests as part of your CI/CD pipeline is a bit of a holy grail in the DevOps world.

Tricentis is a company that is offering a tried and proven enterprise solution in this area. Having perfected their technology over the last 6-7 years and having raised $165m in capital, Tricentis is poised to deliver.

In this DevOps Chat we sit down with Tricentis CEO Sandeep Johri to discuss the market, the opportunity and what Tricentis is up to.

Great conversation!

The environments that we deploy applications in have certainly changed over the last 10 years. This is true for the way we secure applications as well. Barracuda Networks has ridden this wave to cloud native and making solutions for developers, devops teams and security and risk teams. We speak to Tim Jefferson, VP of public cloud for Barracuda on how they are adapting and helping to shape this market

Application Security Requirements & Threat Management (ASRTM)is a great way to:

• Lowering costs to build secure software

• Making security measurable

• Turning unplanned work into planned work

• Freeing up time away from remediation, and into feature development

• Having a single process that works with in-house, outsourced, and commercial software

• Providing confidence that software is secure, when requirements are linked to verification

In this chat with Rohit Sethi of Security Compass, we discuss ASRTM and how it helps DevOps teams, security teams and DevSecOps.
