This article will show you how to leverage the Sysdig Terraform provider to follow Secure GitOps principles and use security as code in your infrastructure to define Alerts, Rules, and Policies.

AI and Machine Learning are becoming critical differentiators in the technology landscape. By their nature, AI and ML are computation hungry workloads. They require best-in-class distributed computing environments to thrive. AI and ML present a perfect use case for Kubernetes, the distributed computing platform engineered at Google to run their massive workloads.
