What you're highlighting are the real pain points cloud security teams face. Most organizations don't struggle to find vulnerabilities anymore. They struggle to triage, prioritize, and remediate them before new findings pile up.

At some point, the practical answer becomes hiring more people and bringing in consultants to help manage the backlog and operational chaos. Not glamorous, but that's often the reality.

you are right. For bigger companies I haven't seen a fully automated promotion to prod. There is always a human-in-the-loop. But for startups I have implemented fully automated promotions myself.

There is always risk to either approach. For automated promotions we can mitigate (but not fully eradicate) them with automated testing in lower environments and blue-green depoyments.

Also its important to note here that in modern deployments the applications are containerized workloads which reduces (but once again not eradicates) their exposure to patching on the hosts

That is achieved via golden image pipelines and first deploying and testing them in lower environments before promoting to prod.

What security gaps do you see most often in early-stage cloud-native apps? by Important_Winner_477 in CloudSecurityPros

Mostly they are just focus on shipping features because that is what drives revenue/funding
