Thank you for reading my last blog on how to modernize age-old applications using automation. Let’s take a closer look at the available automated tools and explore the insights they extract to speed up app modernization. Assessment and Analysis The automation tool for application assessment should: There are free tools provided by cloud service providers, however, they focus more on infra (VMs and Bare Metal) and don’t focus on applications and databases (aspects mentioned above).

Runtime security for Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) environments requires putting controls in place to detect unexpected and malicious behavior across your applications, infrastructure, and cloud environment. Runtime threats include things like: Even if you’re taking advantage of tools like container image vulnerability scanning, Kubernetes pod security policies, and Kubernetes network policies with AKS, not every risk will be addressed.

If you are using a CI/CD tool, you likely are already familiar with workflows. Generally, workflows are a set of tasks, activities or processes that happen within a specific order. Within Codefresh, a popular workflow is to trigger Codefresh pipelines from Docker image push events. This moves the workflow forward from Continuous Integration to Continuous Deployment. Images can be promoted from one environment to the other through a variety of ways.

Building containers securely, reliably, and consistently at scale is a daunting task. Yet, it’s an imperative for organizations embracing the rapid delivery of high-quality software. This is the scenario addressed by VMware Tanzu Build Service, which can help any enterprise IT group build and update containers automatically. And it’s flexible enough to slot right into any incumbent CI/CD toolchain.
