Preface
Security is a major concern for businesses. Sixty percent of organizations report that their DevOps initiatives face security challenges due to the increased speed, automation, and decentralization of the development process. Our goal in writing this book is to help you (the reader) gain a clear understanding of how to implement continuous security into every phase of the DevOps workflow for organizations that are adopting the Azure cloud, its services, and the DevOps toolchain.
Complete with hands-on labs, this book will take you beyond foundational knowledge to having a clear understanding of integrating security early in the DevOps workflow. By the end of this book, you will be fully equipped with information on how to harden the entire DevOps workflow, from software planning to coding to source control to continuous integration and running Azure cloud workloads.
