Cloud Ecosystem explained

I am no DevOps, Engineer nor a Cloud Architect.Three weeks ago, I joined Brainboard (BB for short 😉) to be a member of a squad team to build a fast-growing community around an all-in-one solution for the Multi-Cloud (Multi-verse), Brainboard. We have the opportunity to impact the Cloud Computing industry overall at a large scale and I intend to understand it, well.

Paradigm shift

The Cloud(1) has been around for 20 years now and has changed radically our way of running business as it accelerates innovation and lowers a lot of risks for companies (like wasting money before finding a market). But most importantly it triggered a paradigm shift in the IT world as companies (and engineers) started thinking differently about how to access computing resources to run applications and businesses.

Security as code is the driving force behind future application security. According to O'Reilly, security as code is a way to build security by mapping how code and infrastructure change to DevOps tools and workflows and finding places to add security controls, tests, and ports without cost or delay useless*. Developers can define the infrastructure using a programming language with IaC. To bring security up to DevOps speed, you need to do the same.Here’s how implementing security as code is important for DevSecOps:
