Break down silos, connect departments, deliver beyond expectations

More and more companies are seeing the benefits of DevOps and the transformative effect it can have on a company’s resourcefulness, technical prowess and quality of output. With remote work becoming a significant part of global working culture coupled with the ongoing migration to cloud technologies, DevOps has become more than a buzzword: Instead, it’s a significant competitive advantage.

DevOps is a culture that allows the Development and the Operations teams to work together and deliver services faster and more efficiently. In an ‘always on’ business world that requires ongoing development, testing, integration, deployment, and software life cycling monitoring, DevOps is the tool you need to stay on top, and ahead.

Integrating DevOps with your organization

The transition to DevOps does not happen overnight. It takes an intelligent and iterative approach to implement, test and observe its effects on your business and your clients. As such, a pilot project that follows these steps is recommended:

• See the cultural shift as the backbone of DevOps and prepare to introduce new policies and procedures and a compelling incentive model.
• Provide developers with correct and up-to-date information about the production environment so they can plan deployment appropriately. This will involve creating automated deployment with continuous integration, development and testing.
• Plan and perform testing throughout the delivery pipeline as an integral part of development. This will allow the team to keep the time between check-in and release as short as possible.
• Establish deployment processes that deliver new features and updates while proactively making changes to the system.
• Identify the key metrics that need to be monitored, such as the frequency of code changes, feature incorporation, bug fixing, vulnerabilities, server infrastructure performance, performance and regression of applications, failed audits, and security misconfigurations.

DevOps creates an engaging environment and helps break any corporate silos between developers and IT operators. As companies modernize their stack to take advantage of cloud-native technologies, DevOps are integral in achieving reproducibility, easy maintenance, cost efficiency, lesser risk, and better quality.
