The report suggested that at current growth there could be 100,000 job openings per month before the end of June this year.

CI/CD Pipeline Security 101

In our previous post, we discussed the recent security incident at Codecov and the following investigation at Mattermost. As a follow-up to that we wanted to share some of the basic design principles as well as a handful of more technical tips and tricks around CI/CD pipeline security that helped Mattermost come out of the incident unscathed.

Collision 2021 - Securing Software Pipelines with Continuous Packaging

Building automation and security into software supply chains requires packaging source code, dependencies and containers into logical, versioned units. But, in 2021, how engineers package their software is more vital than ever, requiring a serious refresh with a name befitting its focus on security within the cloud. We call it Continuous Packaging. Now on-demand, watch our talk from Collision Conference 2021 where we explored Continuous Packaging and how it can help secure your delivery pipelines, from development through to deployment.

Trigger a Codefresh Pipeline from ArgoCD
