Summary
This chapter is dedicated to integrating security into DevOps practices. We presented three tools to verify and secure your data and cloud infrastructure. We discussed how to check the compliance of an Azure infrastructure using InSpec from Chef.
To do this and check infrastructure compliance, we installed InSpec and then detailed the writing of InSpec tests. We used its command lines to verify the compliance of Azure infrastructure.
In the last section, we saw how to protect sensitive data with Vault from HashiCorp. In this section, we looked at data encryption and decryption in Vault and wrote Terraform code that will dynamically retrieve the secrets stored in Vault.
In the next chapter, we'll present the concept of blue-green deployment with its patterns for reducing deployment downtime. Then, we'll learn how to implement it in an application as well as in the deployment of Azure infrastructure.
