EP14: Your CI/CD Pipeline is a Production system with Stefan Prodan from ControlPlane

Using CI/CD pipelines to build and deploy your applications is common sense. Many use combined tools though. Stefan Prodan, from ControlPlane, talks about the importance of recognizing that a deployment pipeline is basically a cluster admin and needs to be handled securely as a production system.
Cloud Commute offers a deep dive into cloud topics like storage, security, and Kubernetes. Hosted by Chris Engelbert and featuring industry veterans, it covers the latest tools, developments, and releases. Ideal for tech enthusiasts and professionals in DevOps, SecOps, DevSecOps, and engineering.
