By Zachary Malone, SE Academy Manager at Palo Alto Networks The term “shift left” is a reference to the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) that describes the phases of the process developers follow to create an application. Why is shift-left security important in cybersecurity? This creates risks.

SDN wasn’t (and isn’t) about virtualizing network switches, routers, or firewalls; that’s NFV (Network Functions Virtualization). Similarly, running storage controller software as virtual machines isn’t software-defined storage, it’s the storage equivalent of NFV (SFV?). My apologies Matt!

However, the construct of servers is a throwback to a time when the only way to develop distributed applications was to focus on the server as the base component of the infrastructure. Application developers write code that resides in repositories within these services. An example of a different type of computing is data services.
