Unlock the secrets to flawless software delivery! Explore the "10 Pillars of Pragmatic Deployments" that ensure repeatability, visibility, and auditability. Learn how to master rolling forward, standardize processes, and coordinate releases for robust, high-performing software pipelines.

Stack Overflow adopted Octopus Deploy to streamline and scale its enterprise software delivery using tenanted deployments, automation, and Configuration as Code. By integrating application code, build, and deployment processes in a single GitHub repo, the team improved CI/CD efficiency, enabled better collaboration through pull requests, and reduced deployment times across multiple customers. Octopus's Azure support, API flexibility, and excellent customer service empowered Stack Overflow to standardize and mature its DevOps practices.

Vulnerability scanning alone doesn’t cut it anymore. While it’s long been a core security practice, scanning tools can’t tell you which vulnerabilities are exploitable, how attackers would target them, or which ones pose real risk. This article explores the limitations of vulnerability scanning, the shortfalls of traditional vulnerability management, and why organizations must adopt a risk-based, context-driven approach to application security. Learn how to prioritize based on exploitability, integrate security across the SDLC, and move toward continuous, intelligent threat detection.

Modern software supply chains face increasing complexity and risk, especially from supply chain attacks like SUNBURST. This article explores how Sigstore and Teleport's Machine & Workload Identity can fortify your CI/CD pipeline. Learn how Sigstore enables keyless, verifiable artifact signing, and how Teleport integrates these signatures into workload attestation using SPIFFE-based SVIDs. Discover how to enforce policies that block compromised containers from accessing sensitive resources, and how cryptographic identity can replace static secrets for secure service-to-service communication. A must-read for DevSecOps teams aiming to embed security into the development lifecycle.

Managing multi-cluster Kubernetes environments across clouds and data centers introduces complexity, security gaps, and observability challenges. This article explores how Calico Cluster Mesh provides seamless inter-cluster connectivity, fine-grained security policies, intelligent traffic management, and unified observability—empowering teams to build scalable, secure, and efficient Kubernetes architectures. Learn how companies like Box leverage Calico to enforce zero-trust security and simplify multi-cluster operations.
