CoSeCast - The Continuous Security Podcast Steve Giguere

In this episode Steve speaks with the Control Plane Kubernetes security training gurus, Lewis Denham-Parry and Andy Martin about their brain-child, the KubeCon Capture the Flag!

We get into how it began, the community the enables it and the inspiration for some of the concepts within its structure and scenes.

Recorded back in June 2021 and long overdue thanks to some editing nightmares, this is one to listen to before we  meet up for KubeCon 2022 #optimistic

Alvin Chang is a futurist and technology enthusiast.  This episode was prompted by a conversation I had with him on LinkedIn where he spontaneously told me DevOps was dead and briefly seemed to be suggesting he should tell Gene Kim.

I requested he explain via podcast and here we are!  It goes in some very interesting directions.
