This DevSecOps pipeline integrates secure development and deployment using tools like Visual Studio and GitLab for source control. Code undergoes static analysis via SAST tools, with security checks using Snyk and OWASP ZAP before merging. Azure Pipelines manage CI/CD, pushing images to Azure Container Registry and deploying to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). Governance is enforced using Azure Policy and Cluster Autoscaler for scaling. Secrets are secured in Azure Key Vault. Traffic is protected using Azure WAF, TLS Encryption, and Application Gateway. Monitoring and security insights are enabled via Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Azure Sentinel, and Confidential Computing.
