How DevOps benefits Enterprises?
Enterprise Transition to DevOps
The speed, agility, and stability pushed enterprises to go beyond their existing IT approaches such as waterfall or agile methods to DevOps. Traditionally IT supports ensuring quality of products and services through standardization and automation. Under DevOps, development functions will take care of speed and quality issues, and operations will look after response times, stability, efficiency, and saving costs. Traditionally these two functions work separately where Dev follows experiment & learn attitude and Ops exerts control and compliance. But DevOps aligns both the functions and helps benefiting each other.
What is DevOps?
DevOps combines IT development and operation functions to form an alliance between developers and operations professionals to speed up production and deployment of products and services including software, supports, automation, new technologies etc. DevOps brings multifold benefits for the enterprises such as setting up continuous delivery channel, ongoing improvements, code as a tool for infrastructure & software, increase productivity, improve customer services and so on. DevOps not only limits with technology but also spans around people, process, and information.
Successful DevOps approach requires an enterprise wide cultural transition that includes people, process and technology. From technological point of view, DevOps promises to enhance SDN environments and virtualized enterprise to create flexible infrastructure.
