DevOps has become an integral part of many companies' software development processes, driving digital transformation through improved and accelerated development. Despite its widespread adoption, measuring DevOps success is challenging due to its nature as a culture and set of practices rather than a formal framework, with each organization implementing it differently. A key DevOps goal is to create an automated, frictionless CI/CD pipeline, and integrating security early in the development stage—known as shifting left—is crucial for compliance and confidence in production interoperability. This approach, known as DevSecOps, enhances team speed, agility, and security, requiring continuous deployment, monitoring, and the use of tools that ensure policy compliance by failing pipelines with non-compliant resources. The text is part of a series that explores various aspects of DevSecOps and provides additional resources for further reading.
