## Resource

Six years after the podcast first covered infrastructure as code, what still holds up and what does not? The hosts revisit IaC through a 2026 lens: platform teams shipping secure-by-default modules, stacks becoming standard, GitOps making more sense for Kubernetes, and AI raising new questions instead of removing old ones. It is a practical look at where infra tooling is heading and what teams should stop assuming. We are always happy to answer any questions, hear suggestions for new episodes, or hear from you, our listeners.DevSecOps Talks podcast LinkedIn pageDevSecOps Talks podcast websiteDevSecOps Talks podcast YouTube channel
