The Value of DevOps is Bigger, Faster & Afluent
Do you want to increase the productivity by allowing developers to do what they do best? Is your software development lifecycle a confusing mess of tools and workflows?
A portmanteau of ‘development’ and ‘operations’, is DevOps. It is the combination of practices and tools designed to increase an organization’s ability to deliver applications and services faster than traditional software development processes. This speed enables organizations to better serve their customers and compete more effectively in the market.
DevOps touches every phase of the development and operations lifecycle. From planning and building to monitoring and iterating, DevOps brings together the skills, processes, and tools from every facet of an engineering and IT organization. The DevOps movement began around 2007 when the software development and IT operations communities raised concerns about the traditional software development model, where developers who wrote code worked apart from operations who deployed and supported the code. The term DevOps, a combination of the words development and operations, reflects the process of integrating these disciplines into one, continuous process.
What DevOps is not, it is not a technology. If one buys DevOps tools and call it DevOps, that’s putting the cart before the horse. The essence of DevOps is building a culture of shared responsibility, transparency, and faster feedback. Technology is simply a tool that enables this.
Organizations and teams continue to adopt DevOps practices and tools. In a survey of 500 DevOps practitioners, Atlassian found that 50 percent of organizations say they’ve been practicing DevOps for more than three years. Nearly all (99 percent) of respondents said DevOps has had a positive impact on their organization, according to the 2020 DevOps Trends Survey. Teams that practice DevOps ship better work faster, streamline incident responses, and improve collaboration and communication across teams.
Therefore, DevOps is not a destination. Infact it is a journey. DevOps fundamentally changes how development and operations are done today.
