DevOps as a set of practices has been achieving continuous growth in the software development culture. A combination of both Agile and Lean methodologies, the synergy of both approaches to the operations process is the real meaning of DevOps. A robust DevOps implementation becomes responsible for the complete service lifecycle of the product from the creation, building, starting, and production of the software.
The advantages of DevOps services far outweigh the drawbacks as software is delivered fast and the steps to the product lifecycle are simple. When DevOps is implemented, there is a sea change in the process. Depending on whether the firm accepts or rejects the change and whether it is successfully implemented, the DevOps culture can be called a success or failure.
A Gartner report claims that 90% of DevOps proceedings are held back at the setting up stage not because of technical reasons, but because the leadership at the organization has not succeeded at opening up to the DevOps software development methodology.
A DevOps services company is a service provider which implements Agile and Lean DevOps technologies into the framework of existing IT support and software development cycles of a company. Hiring such a company for your DevOps implementation is the safest route to making sure that the task of training engineers, setting into place production processes, building workflows, automating tasks, etc is accomplished without any hitch.
DevOps have been persistently underrated by top organizations because:
Cannot build a DevOps Culture.
There is a consistent assumption that DevOps is just a set of tools and not a collection of practices. The drive to search for quick-fix solutions leads to DevOps methods used improperly to target the result more than the process. Teams misunderstand that efficiency criteria and timelines of deployment are the axes upon which the software development cycle exists, and faster releases or stringent deadlines are the signs of success of such a methodology, thereby widening the gap between the development process and the operations behind it.
Think Agile is better than DevOps
Organizations fail to realize that the concept of Agile methodologies is a combination of Agility with DevOps. There is an absence of synergy in the team as a result of this misunderstanding over the entire project. DevOps integrates security, systems, and operations into a tight-knit cycle accomplishing the target of providing software to the client.
Absence of a larger perspective on DevOps
With business goals taking precedence over the exciting prospects and the myriad opportunities that DevOps brings to the table for an organization, businesses fail to realize that the real gift of DevOps is in the fluidity to the concept of traditional software development that it brings and that the benefits it provides completely disappear when the deficits, the bottlenecks and the pain areas of the culture are not discussed
Create an improper balance of tools and people
Organizations have continually misunderstood the concept of automation. DevOps automates the entire software development process with the assistance of tools for testing, maintenance, and storage. To think that automatically delegates the duties of man to machine and that no human intervention is then required is however too much of a stretch. Humans and machines have often been combined to achieve a successful DevOps strategy for a project.
Micromanagement kills DevOps strategy
In the event of excessive management interference in a project, DevOps strategies have a remarkable tendency to fail because of the requirement for a free and self-driven atmosphere for DevOps services and support networks. Creativity is the essence of many coding projects and efforts to standardize tools and processes can strangle creative flows restricting the successful application of DevOps methodology. It is a perennial phenomenon that organizations have enforced standards and micromanaged a project to its creative death leading to the people working on the project resolving to abdicate it.
The Takeaways for an organization to understand DevOps advantages
Tools cannot solve a cultural problem
It is a sign of a competent DevOps initiative that background checks on the behavior of the software team are conducted. The mark of a team that can collaborate has internalized the DevOps philosophy and knows how to handle the repertoire of tools and processes falling under the methodologies. The cultural transition that emerges out of the practice of DevOps is to be handled with great precision and care.
A DevOps Culture of High Quality and Standard needs to be set
The onus to build a work culture that encircles the DevOps standard lies on the shoulder of the top management and leaders. The task at the end of the product lifecycle chain is to create and deliver quality software and the team of DevOps engineers needs to be equipped to handle the challenge of synchronizing the IT resources and the software development challenges at the same time.
The DevOps vision is the central tenet
The implementation of DevOps requires consistent justification and creation of other aspects of the vision ranging from a roadmap, the targeted goals of the software cycle, expectations of the organization from its leaders and engineers, and the adequate upskilling of the team to meet such expectations.
A human-machine duality is a new norm
Operating the project under its restrictions, and understanding how much measurable progress has been made using DevOps technology, requires human input making a man-machine interface a necessary practice that should be quickly adopted.
A top to bottom level team engagement is important
People drive the DevOps initiative, and they are the drivers of the organizational change when it comes to acting complicit to the philosophy, standards, and policy. They are the crux of how much DevOps will succeed or fail and indicating to them the path towards how to achieve their goals and salient objectives by incorporating the changes as per DevOps is how leaders can empower their engineers. A people-centric view is the main reason why DevOps is transformational.
DevOps takes input and time
It might be the case that the company falls behind its competition during the initial months of the introduction of the DevOps service provider company into the organization, but one can rest assured that over time and embracing the changing winds of software development, DevOps picks up the pace to dethrone competitors swiftly. However, persistence in input and time when it comes to the application of the methodology to all systems and processes is key to its successful initiation.
