DevSecOps may not be a 100% solution for cybersecurity skills shortage, but it can make it less of a concern in the AppSec realm.

Just last week VMware announced it now supports microservices, and AWS announced Fargate: a new container service. On the Aqua side, we can share that Aqua now offers a Pay-Per-Scan service for AWS; and that a new Container Technology wiki is now live and will serve the entire container community.
