- What does it mean to 'shift security left' in a CI/CD pipeline, and what kinds of automated checks would you add to a build?

- What is software supply-chain security in the context of a build pipeline, and what are a couple of concrete steps to reduce that risk?Go Pro
- Why is it risky to store long-lived cloud access keys as CI secrets, and what's the modern alternative for letting a pipeline deploy to the cloud?Go Pro
