DevSecOps for IBM i

Monday May 19, 2025 11:15am - 12:15pm PDT

South Ballroom A

Security is a universal concern nowadays. How can we automatically verify that any new programming changes to native IBM i code meet your security requirements and follow best practices. We will talk about automating code scanning for less secure functions based on your requirements. We will also talk about checking object attributes during the deployment cycle to control adopting authority. The goal is to automate these checks so that they are consistent and there are no surprises after a promotion. We can use open source tools and in house business function or use commercial packages, but the key is automation so the checks happen every time.

Keep your source code close and your artifacts closer

Monday May 19, 2025 5:05pm - 5:25pm PDT

So you moved your IBM i source code to git but what about your artifacts? It seems like they should be hosted somewhere...into an artifact repository perhaps? If you agree with this statement, then this short session may be of interest to you. Through the use of Jenkins and an artifact repository like Sonatype Nexus or JFrog Artifactory, discover why it may be a good idea to build once, store the result and deploy it many times, to ensure deployment consistency and traceability.
