DevSecOps is the new normal for deployments at scale in large enterprises to meet the pace required in digital business nowadays. These processes are orchestrated used a CI/CD orchestration tool that acts as the brain of this process. Usual tools for doing this job are Jenkins, Bamboo, AzureDevOps, GitLab, GitHub.

In the traditional approach, we have different worker servers doing stages of the DevOps process: Code, Build, Test, Deploy, and for each of them, we need a different kind of tools and utilities to do the job. For example, to get the code, we can need a git installed. To do the build, we can rely on maven or Gradle, and to test, we can use SonarQube and so on.
