Informative Zoom Sessions on DevOps and DevSecOps

Computer System and Network (CSN) students had the opportunity to attend an insightful Zoom session on DevOps, organized by GovTech. The session provided an excellent overview of DevOps practices, highlighting the importance of collaboration between development and operations teams. The key takeaways included: Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD): Streamlining code integration and deployment to ensure faster and more reliable software delivery. Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Automating infrastructure management, making systems scalable and easily maintainable. Monitoring and Logging: Continuous monitoring to ensure system performance and quick identification of issues. The session also illuminated the crucial role of DevOps engineers in facilitating seamless collaboration between teams, optimizing workflow automation, and improving software development cycles. On October 11th, Mr. Sonam Phuntsho, a Technician in the Department of Information Technology (DIT) who recently attended DevSecOps training, shared his valuable insights with the students. He explained how DevSecOps integrates security into every phase of the DevOps pipeline, making security a shared responsibility for all team members. Unlike DevOps, which focuses mainly on development and operations, DevSecOps adds an essential layer of proactive security measures, ensuring vulnerabilities are identified and addressed early in the development process. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to GovTech for organizing the DevOps Zoom session on October 9th. The session provided valuable insights into modern DevOps practices, helping our Computer System and Network (CSN) students deepen their understanding of key processes such as CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and the pivotal role that DevOps engineers play in bridging development and operations.A special thanks goes to Mr. Sonam Phuntsho, a Technician in the Department of Information Technology (DIT), for sharing his expertise on DevSecOps during his session on October 11th. His knowledge, gained from recent DevSecOps training, gave our students a clear understanding of how security is integrated into the DevOps pipeline, emphasizing the importance of building secure software from the very beginning.Your time and effort in educating our students have been invaluable, and we are truly grateful for your contributions to their learning journey.
