Continuous delivery can be challenging, especially for enterprises that deal with strict compliance requirements, like those in the financial services sector. AWS and Stelligent frequently work together with many large financial services enterprises to build solutions that enable customers to run their business faster and more safely on AWS. Together, we help customers ensure the security of the source code used to trigger builds, insert strict business controls at run time, and continuously inspect running infrastructure to ensure compliance. In this session, we share highly effective techniques that you can incorporate into your continuous delivery system to provide bank-level controls and security, and faster deployments. We explore a strong encryption pattern for handling build artifacts in a continuous delivery pipeline, a simple process for inspecting AWS CloudFormation templates to ensure that business rules are in compliance before a template makes AWS API calls, and a runtime inspector that uses AWS Lambda and AWS Config rules to ensure that running infrastructure is always in compliance.
Continuous Delivery can be challenging, especially for enterprises that deal with strict compliance requirements like those in the financial services sector. AWS and Stelligent frequently work together with many large Financial Services Enterprises to help incorporate their capabilities securely on the Cloud. From security of the source code used to trigger builds, to the insertion of strict business controls at run time, and out to the continuous inspection of the running infrastructure to ensure compliance, we are helping to build capabilities that are enabling them to run their business faster and safer on AWS.
In this episode, Paul Duvall and Brian Jakovich from Stelligent cover recent DevOps in AWS news and speak about automating Compliance using AWS Config, Config Rules and AWS Lambda.
Serverless Delivery describes solutions that embody the same fundamental tenets of continuous delivery while utilizing tools and techniques that complement the serverless architecture in Amazon Web Services (AWS). In this episode, we speak with Casey Lee, an engineer and architect at Stelligent, on applying continuous delivery principles and practices to serverless architectures. He discusses costs, orchestration, automation and serverless tools and practices.
