Overview of this book

This practical guide to DevOps uses GitHub as the DevOps platform and shows how you can leverage the power of GitHub for collaboration, lean management, and secure and fast software delivery. The chapters provide simple solutions to common problems, thereby helping teams that are already on their DevOps journey to further advance into DevOps and speed up their software delivery performance. From finding the right metrics to measure your success to learning from other teams’ success stories without merely copying what they’ve done, this book has it all in one place. As you advance, you’ll find out how you can leverage the power of GitHub to accelerate your value delivery – by making work visible with GitHub Projects, measuring the right metrics with GitHub Insights, using solid and proven engineering practices with GitHub Actions and Advanced Security, and moving to event-based and loosely coupled software architecture. By the end of this GitHub book, you'll have understood what factors influence software delivery performance and how you can measure your capabilities, thus realizing where you stand in your journey and how you can move forward.

But now leveraging more and more cloud services, they've already been aware that they must do something to be able to detect, respond, and recover.

The IT department already started to use Splunk as their SIEM and ITIM solution and integrate more and more sources that feed data, but until now, the IT department could not be certain whether they would really detect an ongoing attack in real-time. Tailwind Gears decides to change the way they deal with security. They talk to their security partner, and they plan the first red team / blue team simulation. The scenario is an inside attacker to the web application of our DevOps pilot teams.

The simulation takes 3 days and the...
