From the report, “This technical whitepaper presents and discusses the concept of “Connectivity as Code”, a complementary concept to “Infrastructure as Code” (IaC), and we will explain how it can be incorporated into the DevOps lifecycle for a more agile application delivery. We will also describe how empowering the developer to define the application’s connectivity requirements will bridge the gap between developers and network security, and help to automate the application delivery process end-to-end. The solution presented in this whitepaper seamlessly weaves network connectivity into the DevOps methodology, while ensuring continuous compliance, so that automation does not compromise security.”
