We also own services to streamline building, testing, pushing, and deploying images securely to Azure with ACR Tasks.

The cloud is becoming ever more important to our lives, and malicious actors getting ever more sophisticated. You will be part of an overall vision to secure the supply chain for all workloads running in Azure: from code, to build, to distribution, to runtime.
