4 Trends Driving DevOps Adoption
There has been a tectonic shift in the way we build, deploy and run applications. What started with cloud infrastructure has now created a revolution in IT organizations. As organizations realized the importance of continuous feedback loops, it created a need to ship software updates as fast as possible and brought in a culture of collaboration where everyone works as a team and not as a member of a silo.
This is fundamentally due to the DevOps movement. The word itself derives from “Development” and “Operations” and is all about removing barriers between Software Developers and Operations engineers and enabling better collaboration between the two. It also focuses on automation as the primary way to make software delivery lean and measurable.
DevOps is gaining rapid adoption due to some macro trends in the software universe:
- Software Defined Hybrid Cloud
- Web-scale Requirements
- Modern application architectures (micro services, functions)
- Containers
