Figure 1: HPE's DevOps Roadmap for Cloud
to take advantage of the innovation capabilities that the cloud offers, people need to
embrace innovation as an enabler, as opposed to it being a risk item to be carefully
controlled.
People skills is another area we evaluate. Not only do people need to be trained to use
the cloud provider’s services, but they also must learn new methods and approaches
required to take advantage of the cloud. Too often enterprises treat the cloud as just
another data center instead of what it really is: a game changing agility platform. In addi-
tion to skills, we look to ensure that employees’ incentives are aligned with the new way
of doing things in the cloud. If incentives don’t change, how can we expect people to
transform to the new way of building services in the cloud?
Silos are a big blocker for any transformation. We look at how different silos collaborate
and whether they work together in unison or work against each other. Traditionally, silos
owned singular parts of the software development lifecycle (SDLC). One team owned
development, another QA, a third owned Ops, a fourth security, etc. In the DevOps
model, these are all shared responsibilities. Everyone owns security. Everyone owns
quality. And not just IT people. The product owner and the business sponsor also share
the ownership. When ownership is shared, everyone works towards a common goal.
