Overview of this book

Digital transformation is the new paradigm in enterprises, but the big question remains: is the enterprise ready for transformation using native technology embedded in Agile/DevOps? With this book, you'll see how to design, implement, and integrate DevOps in the enterprise architecture while keeping the Ops team on board and remaining resilient. The focus of the book is not to introduce the hundreds of different tools that are available for implementing DevOps, but instead to show you how to create a successful DevOps architecture. This book provides an architectural overview of DevOps, AIOps, and DevSecOps – the three domains that drive and accelerate digital transformation. Complete with step-by-step explanations of essential concepts, practical examples, and self-assessment questions, this DevOps book will help you to successfully integrate DevOps into enterprise architecture. You'll learn what AIOps is and what value it can bring to an enterprise. Lastly, you will learn how to integrate security principles such as zero-trust and industry security frameworks into DevOps with DevSecOps. By the end of this DevOps book, you'll be able to develop robust DevOps architectures, know which toolsets you can use for your DevOps implementation, and have a deeper understanding of next-level DevOps by implementing Site Reliability Engineering (SRE).

Applying frameworks to DevSecOps

In this section, we will learn how to include the controls of frameworks in DevOps and embed them as DevSecOps. Good news: it's not as hard as it may sound. The following diagram shows this process:

Figure 13.3 – Process of applying controls from security frameworks to DevOps

In general, we start by assessing the framework that the enterprise needs to apply to their IT environments. From that assessment, the different controls are derived and set to the development and deployment cycles of applications and infrastructure. As soon as code is pulled from the repositories, scanning starts against these controls.

We are using the CIS benchmark as an example here since CIS is the most used framework for setting security controls. Applying controls starts with the realization that in DevOps, the IT environments are highly dynamic by default. Everything, including the infrastructure, is turned into code, so applications...
