Kamal Anand, Appcito: Breakfast and Briefings at AWS re:Invent

Episode Summary

TNS Founder Alex Williams spoke with Kamal Anand of Appcito regarding their business and the services they offer. Appcito is focused on application delivery for DevOps teams, security, and analytics. A challenge Appcito addresses is container architecture vs. the security of services. Attacks initially coming from outside a container could be coming from inside of it because a microservice was compromised. Appcito aims to make it simple to provision popular apps such as WordPress, with the ability to create complex infrastructure with ease, provisioning over 600 rules in an app with a single mouse click. This means that one's security team can focus on the application, rather than what rules to apply to a particular app. Appcito aims to balance ease-of-use with advanced APIs and configurability, allowing for users to tailor their experience to their company's needs.
