Talk: Efficient DevSecOps workflows with reusable CI/CD components

Learn how reusable CI/CD components and the catalog help with efficiency on a DevSecOps platform. We will walk through the adoption path of CI/CD components and the catalog and show how a component is structured with a practical Rust example. Inputs for reusability also provide dynamic job names. Testing, documenting, and releasing a CI/CD component concludes the learning. At the end of the talk, an extra section for a hands-on migration workshop of a Golang CI/CD template into a CI/CD component awaits. Start your DevSecOps efficiency journey today.
