As thought leaders in the CI/CD and DevOps space, Sandhata were recently invited to present their cutting-edge DevOps Innovation Platform to a group of DevOps enthusiasts.
When I first started my career at Sandhata, I was introduced to middleware test automation using a tool called IBM RIT (Rational Integration Tester). As a newbie, without any experience even of manual testing, I had to try to make sense of this new, unfamiliar process. Soon, however, I became fascinated by this particular tool and started to discover the real power of automation.
Over the last few weeks, we have been publishing a few articles about the Live DevOps Innovation Platform, and how we built it. But I’d like to take the opportunity to share some of the benefits that we, as Sandhata consultants, have seen – so far – as a result of building this new DevOps platform and the application Sandhata Bank.
The importance of security in software development is already widely understood and security testing is generally well embraced in the software delivery process. But when organisations enter the world of Continuous Delivery and Continuous Deployment, it becomes even more important to be able to test and enforce continuous security the same way – not only quarterly or monthly.
We recently announced the arrival of our Live DevOps Innovation Platform built in-house here at Sandhata. I wanted to share some of the tools we have used for it so far, as well as my personal experiences on this platform, as it has been very interesting and a big learning experience for me.
In 2016 we started creating a live DevOps innovation platform internally in Sandhata. We have been working hard, with the goal of creating a platform which incorporates DevOps principles and practices across the whole delivery lifecycle. We want this platform to demonstrate various aspects of the delivery lifecycle, and expose the inner workings – so that the platform can be used to help others get a headstart on their continuous delivery journey and also plan their DevOps strategy based on our working example.
Here at Sandhata, we have spent the last few months developing a new, fully-featured, DevOps Innovation platform – designed to address the most complex challenges faced in the modern enterprise.
