Summary

There are multiple tools and platforms available at the disposal of every software engineer within the cloud-native realm. It is important to understand the use case and application of those platforms. When it comes to the model that the product is designed on, you should choose the most efficient and scalable platform.

In this chapter, we tried to provide a clear definition of what we would venture into in this book. I strongly encourage you to read the documentation of the platforms mentioned in this chapter as we will leverage them in this book further and learn about implementing security controls and solutions within any system and application.

With the rise of cloud-native architecture, more companies are adapting to this technique. With that, security engineers and security champions must update their skill sets based on recent updates. In the next chapter, we will be doing a deep dive into understanding secure code development and leveraging the cloud-native approach, as well as a few of the tools discussed in this chapter, to create security solutions for software development.
