As a Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of an organization, who is either driving the technology team of a startup or leading IT operations in a megacorp; continuously innovating is the goal. 

If you’re leading the software engineering cycle of a product or a software development firm, then the struggle to get answers to the following questions must be constant.

The software development and delivery pipeline of DevOps, also referred to as the CI/CD pipeline, ensures that market-ready software products are released for public use faster. Continuous Testing is a set of evaluation procedures in the DevOps pipeline meant to ensure the product's quality and to enhance the reliability of the outcome.

Today, we are at a point in the software delivery paradigm where most IT enterprises have implemented DevOps in their workflow in some way, shape, or form. DevOps teams are guided by various operating principles, the most prominent of which are Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery (CD), or CI/CD.

A modern infrastructure that’s agile, flexible, and scalable is on the mind of every infrastructure & operations (I&O) leader. In a cloud-first and automation world, I&O leaders are introducing new ways to utilize and manage infrastructure. 

For technology organizations, cloud adoption is a go-to strategy for cost reduction, risk mitigation, and a more increased scope of scalability. Enterprise-ready cloud infrastructure highlights the maturity of a company's depth of technological prowess. Therefore, it is important to conduct periodic cloud readiness assessments.

The software development business is witnessing an ever-increasing adoption of various cloud-native methods for deploying applications, and containerization is one of the most sought-after of these methods. This has, however, opened up organizations using containers to potential cyber-attacks and other vulnerabilities, therefore promoting the need for container security. 

Containers have been solving real problems for IT operations teams. They are enabling faster deployment of applications, ease migration to the cloud, maximize scalability, reduce environment variables, improve code reusability, and a lot more.
