Deploying Native IBM i Objects with Open Source DevSecOs Tools

While building IBM i source into native objects is covered in detail there is very little information about the last mile, securely deploying your compiled objects to remote systems while managing the specific requirements of the Ibm i. Having implemented object deployment on the IBM i for 25 years and now integrating with open source tools for 10 I can share my experience in how we can use the open source tools you are using for your front end to synchronize deployment of changes on your backend. This is a practical explanation on how this can be accomplished with IBM supported open source tools that allow you to bring more automation to your Application Life Cycle management. This DevSecOps automation provides significant ROI on the effort to successfully integrate your front end and back end.
