Continuous Infrastructure Automation

Continuous Infrastructure Automation is a critical concept about driving much more resilient and repeatable systems.

As we build out applications on infrastructure, we should not treat them as a static deployment. Instead, we should think of infrastructure as constantly evolving, growing and changing.

There’s a lot of technology and challenges in building that! In discussion, we firmly believe that this is the right path, but the path to get there is challenging. There are a lot of components that have to be considered: everything from artificial intelligence or machine learning, to how to manage and control and standardize the automation that does all that work.

Topics for a Security Training Course

DevOps Lunch and Learn was about security practices. Specifically, we built an outline of topics in security that we think are necessary for developers and operators to build secure applications.

We basically built a week long course curriculum!

As we go through what this course curriculum we walk through who needs to know this information and why.

Ohad Maislish of env0 on extending Infrastructure as Code to the Broader Organization

Joining us this week is Ohad Maislish, CEO and Co-Founder of env0.

About env0

We started env0 in 2018 with the goal of helping extend the power of Infrastructure as Code to everyone on the team. We found the IaC frameworks are too focused on the purely technical elements of deploying infrastructure and missed the connection back to the business. And the existing IaC management tools were all focused on just helping the SRE/DevOps team but not actually changing the way that deployments worked.

env0 is dedicated to providing the self service that your team expects from the cloud, while maintaining the governance, cost control, and visibility that you need to securely deploy your infrastructure with confidence.
