Cover Story
As core IT has become the center of innovation for business, so too has DevOps evolved into a key facilitator of delivering solutions to the market across the public as well as private cloud. Companies that have embraced digital transformation have become readily accessible to consumers, receiving constant and relentless feedback on how to improve their products. As requirements go downstream at a rapid pace, DevOps has needed to fight more fires and react to increased complexity. They are strapped for time and must juggle multiple responsibilities to stay afloat.
The discipline is at peak demand, and DevOps continues to be the lifeblood of an IT operations center, streamlining deployment and management of applications and services at the face of consistently expanding requirements of users. As customers become more connected and engaged with businesses, enterprises will need the DevOps discipline to help them migrate the solutions to digital platforms. Customers expect solutions to“ just work,” and DevOps provides the necessary capabilities to respond to a myriad of issues that can spring up in everyday use.
