Secured Deployments and Delivery for GitHub Actions

GitHub is well adopted by developers for its capabilities around controlling the code / app development progression and versioning. GitHub has a new feature called Actions automating deployments. While GitHub Actions is a good CD tool, DevSecOps techniques to secure their software delivery process.

OpsMx Secured Software Delivery (SSD) enables DevSecOps to securely deploy their microservices into any cloud or Kubernetes cluster at speed and scale. SSD can be natively integrated with GitHub Actions without any modifications to the existing stack. SSD provides security controls, deployment firewall for the delivery process, and AI-based verification for canary and blue/green deployments.

Secured Deployments and Delivery for GitHub Actions

Secured Software Delivery for GitHub Actions

OpsMx provides Secured Software Delivery (SSD) for enterprises using GitHub Actions to detect vulnerabilities across all the applications, allowing them to create policies and achieve 100% compliance around security and regulatory mandates.

Central DevSecOps Dashboard for all Applications

OpsMx SSD offers a DevSecOps dashboard to understand the security risks associated with all the applications, getting deployed using GitHub Actions, across various teams and geography. DevOps team get holistic information about security vulnerabilities wrt each service, deployment date, developers, etc. will help owners make decisions faster regarding deployments and delivery.

Delivery Bill of Materials (DBOM) for entire CI/CD

DBOM is an essential item for organisations with high scale delivery and a fleet of microservices. SSD integrates with GitHub Actions and other DevOps tools to provide the DBOM for any application across various stages of CI/CD. Get information such as vulnerability reports of application, binaries, and dependencies, test coverage reports, security benchmarking, etc at your fingertips.

Deployment Firewall

OpsMx SSD continuously monitors the security posture of your application and tells you exactly where any new vulnerability is in your environment. SSD provides the mechanism to create security and compliance rules based on the posture and enforce them at the deployment stage of your software delivery. Apply deployment firewalls to GitHub Actions to fail or rollback applications in case of failed security checks.

Automated Security Policies for GitHub Actions

OpsMx SSD empowers DevSecOps team to create automated policies and implement them to GitHub Actions pipelines. Preventive delivery policies such as stopping a delivery pipeline based on vulnerability metrics can easily be enforced. SSD provides flexibility to create various rules, alerts and warnings based on security posture to enable a risk-free software delivery process.

Audit and Compliance Delivery

Make your software delivery using GitHub Actions compliant to industry standards with automated audit and compliance reports generated by OpsMx SSD. Instead of DevOps team spending time to collect information from disparate systems, SSD provides audit and attestation reports with information highlighting who, what, and when pipeline execution and policy violations.

Advanced Deployment Strategies

OpsMx SSD comes with cloud-native deployment strategies, handles underlying orchestration such as verifying health checks, disabling old server groups, and enabling new server groups. DevOps team can implement advanced deployment strategies such as blue/green and canary for rolling out Kubernetes application safely from Day-1.

Continuous Risk Assessment of Releases at Scale

With the SSD, you can automatically collect logs and metrics and apply NLP and unsupervised machine learning to calculate the overall risk score of new deployments. SSD can determine the risk scores of cloud and Kubernetes applications wrt quality, performance, reliability, and security of each release before deployment.

Getting started with multi-cluster K8S deployments using Argo CD

Multicluster Kubernetes deployment using Argo CD

Learn how to deploy any application into multiple Kubernetes clusters and how to do GitOps-style delivery. It is interesting for those DevOps or infrastructure engineers working in enterprises whose business is dependent on modern infrastructure. For instance, there are a lot of resources like 50+ clusters spread across clouds, 200+nodes, 2000+cores, and lots of computing and storage resources, etc. Now let us discuss how you can configure Argo CD to deploy into the Kubernetes cluster in another cloud or data centre.

Configure private Git report in Argo CD to deploy into K8s

Learn configurations in Argo CD to fetch application configurations from the public Git repo and deploy the app into a Kubernetes cluster. IT organizations install Source Code Management (SCM) tools like Git or Bitbucket in a secure environment and restrict developers from making their code public. For such scenarios, we will find out how DevOps or platform engineers can configure Argo CD to provide access to the developer’s private Git repositories.

Automate Progressive Delivery into Kubernetes with Argo and ISD

Organizations will have more software releases into Kubernetes with time. But DevOps and SREs teams need to verify each release before they can move code into production; and manual verification is alway overwhelming and error-prone. Find out OpsMx ISD, an add-on to open source Argo Rollouts, automates and streamlines the release verification process.
