The crucial role of Linux in DevSecOps

DevOps is morphing into DevSecOps, with development teams taking on the responsibility of delivering more secure code, and success dependent on aligned improvements in monitoring, automation, patching, and deployment. The operating systems you deploy, are a key foundational layer of your DevSecOps environment.

In this white paper, Marc Staimer of Dragon Slayer Consulting reviews known Linux issues and impacts to DevSecOps environments in the following areas:

• Security issues
• Performance impacts
• Deployment bottlenecks

It then examines how Oracle’s Linux distribution addresses these and in what ways.
