In any organisation with a technology-driven IT department, the pursuit of efficiency, agility and cost-effective high quality software development is an ongoing quest. This desire for rapid software development, aligned with the ever-increasing urgency of business stakeholders, has led to the evolution of modern DevSecOps practices. This article delves into how AI is reshaping the landscape of DevSecOps.
Elevating development and testing with DevSecOps
Successful digital transformation stories have a common denominator — the adoption of modern DevSecOps practices. This transformative process encompasses build-test-release operations, prioritising speed, quality and value creation.
Development and testing teams now face the challenge of delivering accurate, high quality products that adhere to composable architecture and cloud-based application requirements, along with rapid validation and deployment of the solution. The foundation of this efficiency lies in continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD). CI standardises development practices, while CD ensures rapid deployment with necessary libraries, configurations and provisioning. These practices, collectively known as DevOps, have proven effective for organisations embracing them.
The testing of developer code at unit level could be integrated within the CI services of most readily available products, open source or otherwise. However, when it came to functional, system and other types of testing, organisations had built manual or siloed automations. These required significant rework with every change in code along with manual interventions in execution, validation and the reporting aspects of testing. The very nature of separation of duties and the function of testing required a different approach to bring it all together.

Helgrind: Detecting Synchronisation Issues in Multithreaded Programs
Let's explore how Helgrind can be used to detect and debug multithreading issues with the help of a multithreaded C program.
The Perfect Process of Booting a PC
Booting a PC seems as simple as eating a cake. But are you aware of all that goes on behind-the-scenes to bake a delicious cake or seamlessly boot a PC?
Exploring eBPF and its Integration with Kubernetes
eBPF, a game-changing technology that extends the capabilities of the Linux kernel, offers significant advantages for Kubernetes networking. It also greatly improves Kubernetes observability by capturing detailed telemetry data directly from the kernel. Read on to find out how its integration with Kubernetes has immense benefits.
Deploying Generative AI LLMs on Docker
Built on massive datasets, large language models or LLMS are closely associated with generative Al. Integrating these models with Docker has quite a few advantages.
Containerisation: The Cornerstone of Multi-Cloud and Hybrid Cloud Success
Open source containerisation software provides the flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and community support needed to build and manage complex multi-cloud and hybrid cloud environments. By leveraging this software, businesses can unlock the full potential of multicloud and hybrid cloud architectures while minimising vendor lock-in risks.
From Virtual Machines to Docker Containers: The Evolution of Software Development
Containerisation and Kubernetes have eased software development, making it faster and better. Let's see where these are headed, looking at trends that are making life easier for developers.
India's Leap in Supercomputing: Innovating for Tomorrow
As India strides towards self-sufficiency in supercomputing, embracing this evolution isn't just an option-it is pivotal for global competitiveness and technological leadership.
SageMath: A Quick Introduction to Cybersecurity
In the previous articles in this SageMath series, we delved into graph theory and explored its applications using SageMath. In this seventh article in the series, it is time to shift our focus to another crucial subfield of computer science: cybersecurity and cryptography.
Efficient Prompt Engineering: Getting the Right Answers
OpenAl's GPT-3 and GPT-4 are powerful tools that can generate human-like text, answer questions, and provide insights. However, the quality of these outputs depends heavily on how you frame the input, or prompt. Efficient prompt engineering ensures you get the right answers by designing inputs that guide the AI towards relevant, clear, and useful responses. Let's find out how to craft effective prompts with examples.
Analysing Linus Torvald's Critique of Docker
This article looks at Docker's security flaws, particularly its shared-kernel model, and contrasts it with traditional VMs for better isolation. It discusses Linus Torvalds' concerns, explores mitigation techniques, and proposes a roadmap for building a more secure containerisation platform using hardware-assisted virtualisation, true isolation, and a robust orchestration layer.
