Hi @Evgeny Belenky ​,


An Interesting Agile principle adoption for the DevOps team. Hope the below is good to take on this interesting topic for discussion 


XOps Began with DevOps

Agile software development practices have been bubbling up to the business for some time. Since the dawn of the millennium, business leaders have been told their companies need to be more agile just to stay competitive.


Meanwhile, many agile software development teams have adopted DevOps and increasingly they’ve gone a step further by embracing continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) which automates additional tasks to enable an end-to-end pipeline that provides visibility throughout and smoother process flows than the traditional waterfall handoffs. Like DevOps, DataOps, MLOps, and AIOps are cross-functional endeavors focused on continuous improvement, efficiency and process improvement.


Agile software development practices have been emerging in enterprises for some time. Business leaders have repeatedly been told that their companies need to be more agile to remain competitive. Simultaneously though, many agile software development teams have adopted DevOps to automate additional tasks, and the adoption of Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) enables an end-to-end pipeline, thus providing visibility and smoothness to the entire process compared with the traditional waterfall methodologies. DevOps, CloudOps, DataOps, MLOps and AIOps are all cross-functional dedicated to continuous improvement, efficiency and process improvement.

Hi @Evgeny Belenky​, Some of the below points would help in setting the security framework for DevOps: Embrace a DevSecOps model Enforce policy & governance Automate your DevOps security processes and tools Perform comprehensive discovery Conduct vulnerability management Adopt configuration management Secure access with DevOps secrets management Control, monitor, and audit access with privileged access management Segment networks Monitor the DevOps pipeline and applications Keep security processes clear and minimal, but forceful Due Diligence of Admin Credentials Enforce Least Privilege

In addition to the traditional best practices for cybersecurity, focus on the "rapidly changing" security posture that is the result of DevOps.  Look at the ephemeral nature of objects - are these hardened and protected or would these open up the weakest link that hackers are waiting to see. This requires examining scripts/code thoroughly because as we know it, code can write code too.  Guard against the code injection. Finally, ensure that any damage can be contained quickly - through observability and analytics and a competent SOC that is available to respond 24x7x365.

Hi community, We're looking at a Tosca-Copado CI/CD solution for a particular client but I've seen that Copado doesn't support Tosca (April 2022).  Is anyone out there doing this at the moment  (or aware of a plan by Tricentis to do this)? Any suggestions for alternative CI/CD solutions that integrate well with TOSCA? *This is a high-level requirement at the moment as the project is still in...

System, Value, and Decision failures bring the grinding wheel to a halt As put by a Quality guru, People in general, more than 80% of the team are, in fact, productive and efficient. The problem then is with the chosen few who have an efficient short-term view but high-risk performance focus.
