Simplifying Certificate Management for CI/CD & DevOps

DevOps’ is based on a simple principle: Delivering software as quickly and efficiently as possible. The tools that help developers do this range from CI/CD pipeline management (Jenkins) to containerization (Kubernetes). Now, each of these components incorporate the use of digital certificates in order to authenticate, secure, and validate their network interactions, and every certificate (and key) has to be carefully managed and rotated to ensure that it remains valid. However, manual management methods cannot do this efficiently, and outright fail at it when modern requirements such as short-lived certificates are considered. Every DevOps pipeline might require thousands of new certificates a day to work with each of their DevOps tools, and this is simply not possible without automation. Consider the prevalence of cloud tech, serverless models, and the IoT – all of these models further complicate PKI deployment for DevOps teams, and the only viable fix is to integrate your PKI/PKI Management systems with your DevOps environments, and automate wherever possible. And in this webinar, we’ll tell you how. Agenda: •How does PKI impact DevOps? •Why conventional certificate management doesn’t work. •How DevOps tools leverage PKI •Best practices for certificate management in DevOps pipelines •Tools that can accomplish automation and integration of PKI and DevOps
