Abstract
Many organizations practicing DevSecOps have collapsed under the weight of their own tooling. These organizations tried to solve delivery problems by stacking Kubernetes, Helm, GitOps controllers, scanners, and templating systems until no one can explain their own deployment path. This webcast cuts through that complexity and shows how right-sizing DevSecOps—reproducible environments, deterministic builds, type-safe configuration, and small iterative releases—restores velocity and reliability. We focus on what high-stakes teams actually need, not what vendors or compliance frameworks prescribe.
What Will Attendees Learn?
- Why complexity, not capability, is the primary barrier to fast, secure delivery
- How reproducibility, pre-rendering, and type-safe configuration eliminate entire categories of deployment failure
- How to design a “paved road” that scales across teams without drowning them in tooling
- How to move from episodic, end-state-driven integration to continuous, incremental delivery
