As I continue this series on CI/CD pipeline security, it is time to now work on securely building and deploying our application. This post picks up where my Build Secure Python Pipelines: Adding Tests and Hooks in Action post left off. In this post, we’ll continue our pipeline development by adding a container build and deployment to Kubernetes. In addition to this, we’ll add some security components to the build and deployment process....

As we continue this series started in my Getting Started with Secure CI/CD: Essential Practices for Beginners post, I’ll be securing my Python code with automated testing and hooks. While some of this information builds on some previous posts I’ve created in the past, Adding pre-commit Hooks to Python Repo Writing Tests For Your Python Project I still wanted to incorporate these together in a meaningful way. My goal is to help anyone that is trying to figure out how to piece together their own pipeline....

I think it’s time to focus on a few key practices for beginners to implement secure CI/CD. I’ve been building the idea on the idea of a CI/CD pipeline in a bunch of the below posts: Securing Your CI/CD Pipeline: A Beginner’s Guide to Implementing Essential Security Measures Automate Your Database Changes with a CI/CD Pipeline How to Build a CI/CD Pipeline for Your Database Infrastructure as Code with Terraform and GitHub Actions: A Kubernetes Case Study Adding pre-commit Hooks to Python Repo Writing Tests For Your Python Project All of these articles are a scattering of topics based upon some of the daily randomness that I’ve faced in my work life....

I recently decided to deploy a Python script to AWS Lambda with Terraform. I had to create this Python code so that I could expose a simple API to the Internet. So that I didn’t have to maintain infrastructure, I figured the best approach was to deploy it as a Lambda function and API Gateway. Deploying as a Lambda and API Gateway sounded like a great way to go. While not maintaining infrastructure, I figured it was also a good idea to make the deployment easy....

Introduction to Markup Syntax Markup syntax is a type of computer language used to create and modify documents. It is used to format text, create links, and add images, among other things. Markup syntax is commonly used in web development and programing languages such as HTML and CSS. In this blog post, we will be discussing the pros and cons of three popular Python markup syntaxes: Numpy-Style, Google-Style, and RestructuredText....
