This document is a presentation about continuous verification in a serverless world given by Leon Stigter, a Cloud Developer Advocate at VMware. The presentation discusses how technology is changing rapidly and infrastructure is changing as a result. It advocates for continuous verification pipelines that check for security, utilization, performance, and cost when deploying applications in a continuous integration/continuous delivery model. This helps fully automate the development and deployment process while giving developers more time to spend on the beach. An example scenario is provided where a continuous verification pipeline would check for capacity, budgets, security best practices, and dependency security before deploying changes.

Continuous Verification Scenario
Do we have capacity &
budget in the
project/account/etc? Do we follow best
practices and
security
guidelines for
accounts and
permissions?
Look at performance
stats in test/dev
environment
Are my dependencies
secure?
