Is DevOps the best approach to software development?
Summary
Beyond the individual DevOps teams, there has to be sufficient management commitment to drive the process, change the culture and ensure everyone understands the message.As well as strong push from the major cloud suppliers – Amazon, Google and particularly Microsoft with Azure – others, such as Atmosera and Morpheus, offer ways to effectively deploy DevOps in a controlled manner.Tools that support the continuous cycle to fit IT more closely to business needs, such as those from Electric Cloud and Plutora, can be transformative in speeding up the software delivery process .Organisations are fairly used to restructuring business processes and are very familiar with moving in different technology directions, but cultural change, while often discussed, is difficult to accomplish.“ Never overlook a good crisis.” Fix a problem, but don’t pick the hardest, biggest and most influential project, because failure will give any doubters an excuse to stop.
