Implementing Fast IT Deploying Applications at the Pace of Innovation

Containerization has increased the pace of deployment but doesn't overcome the need for application security. Key to making your security teams comfortable with containers is to maintain visibility into the various software components and proactively patching vulnerabilities as they are disclosed. Aporeto provides a service mesh for application security on any orchestrator, including Kubernetes, and/or any on-premises or cloud infrastructure including AWS, Azure and Google. Their easy to deploy solution provides consistent security that is automated to eliminate both manual efforts and human errors. Don Chouinard, Product Marketing lead at Aporeto, will share how Aporeto uses InfluxData to maintain visibility into the security state of the various application components whenever they run using automatically generated security policies.

Your Resolution for 2018: Five Principles For Securing DevOps

DevOps.com

Organizations in today’s market must strike a balance between competitive differentiation and meeting evolving compliance standards-particularly related to software security. They need to obtain faster release and deployment cycles, improved collaboration between business stakeholders and application development and operations teams, and automation tools. DevOps, an innovative organizational and cultural way of organizing development and IT operations work, is addressing this challenge – driven by mounting evidence of its benefits to the business. However reaping these gains requires rethinking application security to deliver more secure code at DevOps speed.

Rethinking Security: The Cloud Infrastructure Effect

CloudPassage

Technologies You Need to Safely Use the Cloud

CloudPassage

There are three main types of cloud services discussed in the document: 1) Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) requires technologies to verify workload integrity, alert to unauthorized changes, and track incidents as the provider cannot do this. Point solutions and broader providers offer these controls. 2) Software as a Service (SaaS) presents risks if providers mishandle sensitive data or have authentication/application weaknesses exploited. Users should control access and encrypt data. 3) Governance is needed to track cloud service use, as without it companies lack visibility into how data is used and exposed. Technologies help monitor usage and set policies to mitigate risks and protect data.

Cisco IT has created solutions that enable automated provisioning of environments and fast deployment of cloud applications through “Software Development-as-a-Service”. In this session, we’ll provide a hands-on experience of how application teams use an automated toolset to combine quality and agility, while reducing operational expense. We’ll also provide a view of the key technologies that enable this solution. Finally, there’s a quick glimpse into what’s next: containerization and IOE Application Enablement. Abstract

Editor's Notes

Let’s look at Cisco’s Fast IT model first – and then we’ll zoom in specifically what Cisco IT is doing. Cisco defines Fast IT as a new model that transforms your infrastructure, to become more flexible, automated and secure. Gain a Programmable Infrastructure If you want to benefit from the flexibility and cost saving that are associated with automation and orchestration, it’s important that all aspects of your environment are API-enabled. Having developers click through screens doesn’t scale. In fact, our mantra is that everything should be a service, and is as such accessible through an API. Automate and Orchestrate Infrastructure I mentioned APIs earlier… well this is how we put them to work. If you want to keep up to pace of evolutions like the Internet of Everything, applications have to be delivered at an accelerated pace. Automation and orchestration are instrumental to speeding up application delivery. Today, it’s not enough to simply automate within a single domain, you need automation and orchestration that spans the enterprise. Bridge Physical and Virtual Infrastructure Even though cloud and virtualization have proven to be valuable tools to optimize data centers, they also come with new levels of complexity. Breaking out of the physical boundaries, and being able to move workloads across infrastructures will allow you to take better advantage of cost, performance of your own virtual/physical infrastructure or that of your cloud service provider. Cisco InterCloud can help here. Increase Visibility Through Analytics So we automate and hide complexity where we can. But t’s important that we have full end-to-end visibility into the application stack, so that we can take the right action at the right time to address the right issue. We need to be able to correlate symptoms in the application to issues in platforms or infrastructure. Form there we need to be able to identify solutions to those issues. Automated Threat Detection One example is with thread detection. Security threats become ever more complex, and attacks more sophisticated. It takes only minutes after an infection for your data to get exposed… you need to act quickly. Unless you automate this process, you’ll be too late. 1. API’s – 2. Automation – 3. End-to-end – 4. Ensure visibility Transition: how does Cisco IT apply these concepts for internal application development?

IT Delivery Transformation is Cisco IT’s internal effort to transform towards Fast IT. What value do we get out of ITDT? We focus on these broad themes. Time-to-capability Improve Software Quality Optimize Cost-of-Delivery Transition: In this session, we’ll look at how the application development flow, or practically, we’ll follow code as a moves from a developer workstation into production.
Key points: Automate the process of testing and deploying code By automating testing – you make it effortless -> improve code quality. Generate tagged artefacts, reports on who’s done what. Delivery pipeline Key components: version control system (git), build automation (Jenkins) Transition: To delivery this integrated environment, Cisco IT has gone through a technology transition.
To make Continuous Delivery possible, need: APIs everywhere (Openshift, Openstack, ACI Fabric) Virtualization (Openstack, NfV) Automation (CITEIS 3.0 – Openstack, ACI) Leverage open source – Drink our own champagne. Openstack & Openshift – partnerships with Red Hat – Cisco Validated Designs for Openshift. So there are two way in which Cisco enables Fast IT and continuous delivery: By moving to programmable components By providing the provisioning orchestration to create delivery pipelines on demand (CIAC - eStore) Transition: Next slide illustrates use of Cisco products Original text: The recent spin-in of Insieme networks, and the application centric infrastructure, transforms the traditional network into a programmable, application aware, network. Also, CITEIS Gen 3, lays the foundation for a cloud stack that is based on open source, and completely API driven. While CITEIS Gen 2, and the automation on the Vmware stack has been significant, it still requires interactions via the eStore UI interface. More significantly, if a client requires 10 VMs, they need to submit 10 distinct request. The problem is compounded when the same 10 set of VMs now need to be cloned/replicated for another (say) lifecycle. This is largely due to the lack of exposed APIs. Openstack on the other hand natively exposes the APIs, allowing for dynamic provisioning of compute, storage, and network resources.
Want to highlight some key Cisco solutions that help implement this. Cisco ACI Fabric, with APIC as the controller (API for the infrastructure, policies) Cisco UCS for compute Cisco Intelligent Automation for Cloud (CIAC) – automation & orchestration Cisco Prime Catalog (eStore) Leverage partnership with Redhat for the Openstack/Openshift integration. CVD for Openshift.
