Tasked with automating developer workflow, the DevOps team has a growing amount of responsibilities — especially when it comes to ensuring that the open source software used at a company is secure and compliant. DevOps and Open Source 101: The DevOps Role in Modernizing Open Source Best Practices discusses:

• Modern software development practices and their reliance on open source
• The origin and evolution of DevOps, and the impact of open source on the role
• Deployment, continuous compliance and risk management
• Incorporating open source management into CI/CD

With each open source project, security and compliance need to be vetted. Security is an obvious concern, but open source license compliance is also essential because a lack of compliance to otherwise “free” open source tools can have a revenue impact when proof is required for enterprise sales, M&A, IPO or distribution on application platforms.
