S3E2: Working with Cloud Resources and DevSecOps

Angela Andrews and Michael Jenkins continue Season 3 of From Cover to Code, exploring “Hands-On Python for DevOps”:

📘 Chapter 5: Manipulating Resources
🔐 Chapter 6: Security and DevSecOps with Python

They explore how Python fits into modern DevOps workflows—from data handling and multiprocessing to securing secrets and automating incident response. Michael even demos a Jupyter notebook visualization for CPU utilization analysis and shares tips for smoothing data with Python.

Expect lively discussion, practical insights, and a few laughs as they debate when Python *isn’t* the right tool and preview what’s next: automation and event-driven architecture with AWS Lambda.
