Moving to the cloud presents several security challenges for enterprises, including protecting the organization from data breaches, misconfigurations, compliance issues and unauthorized access. Moreover, the dynamic nature of cloud environments, with resources being provisioned and de-provisioned on-demand, adds complexity to security management.

Training employees on best practices for cloud security is crucial to mitigate risks and ensure data protection in the cloud environment.

These items should be top of mind.

Microsoft this week added a bevy of tools to its portfolio that infuses generative artificial intelligence (AI) into DevOps workflows.

Unveiled at the Microsoft Build 2024 conference, those additions include GitHub Copilot for Azure which enables DevOps teams to build, troubleshoot and deploy applications on the Microsoft Azure cloud using a natural language interface.

GitHub Copilot for Azure is one of the multiple extensions that Microsoft and third-party partners are providing to, for example, customize tools from Docker, Inc. and Sentry. Microsoft is also embedding its Copilot into Microsoft Teams and Microsoft 365 development tools.

GitLab this week announced the general availability of GitLab Duo Chat, a natural language interface through which DevOps teams can invoke generative artificial intelligence (AI) to generate code, create tests and access summarizations of code. It is available as an add-on to the GitLab Duo Pro AI framework, which the company is embedding across its DevOps platforms. GitLab Duo Chat can be invoked via the GitLab user interface or GitLab’s web integrated development environment (IDE) in addition to third-party IDEs, including VS Code and the IDE provided by JetBrains.
