ActiveState’s Avery Speller, Solutions Engineer, and Product Marketing Manager, Dana Crane, take you through the steps of building a secure Python runtime and fast, using the ActiveState Platform. Especially great for DevSecOps professionals and Python developers, this workshop goes through:
- Package management: Setting up a virtual Python environment and adding all required packages with dependency conflicts automatically resolved or flagged.
- Reproducibility: Using the CLI tool as a universal package manager to “replace the Read Me” by setting up and deploying environments in a consistent, reproducible way.
- Security: working with vetted packages, identifying and resolving vulnerabilities and ensuring provenance.
- API: Getting direct access to detailed package and language information, including source code, vulnerabilities and dependencies.
This google doc has the links and commands you will need to properly follow the workshop.
Keep the conversation going at our community forum for this workshop. Try what you have learnt with other Python distributions and see how vulnerable you are, see what licenses you’re using.
