A Complete Guide to DevOps
Open Source For You|October 2024
Modern enterprises are looking at faster delivery of quality software and quick feedback from customers, among other things. This demands the integration of development and operations teams so that they collaborate and communicate better, also known as DevOps.
Dr Gopala Krishna Behara
A Complete Guide to DevOps

DevOps is about principles, practices, and creating a collaborative environment that improves software delivery and increases business value. It focuses on people and culture to improve collaboration between development and operations groups.

DevOps is not:

A role, person, or enterprise

Something only a system administrator can do

Something only developers can do

Writing Chef and Puppet scripts

Tools

The goal of DevOps is to create, operate and manage complex systems with a culture of continuous improvement across all components in the product and service delivery. This includes:

Improved deployment frequency

Faster time to market

Continuous integration

Continuous delivery

Infrastructure automation

Lower failure rates of new releases

Faster recovery time from crashes or failures

Challenges in adoption of DevOps

Drawing from my experience in DevOps implementation, the top key challenges in adopting DevOps across large enterprises are:

Resistance to change:

Transitioning to DevOps involves cultural shifts, process changes, and new tool adoption. Teams may resist changing established processes and roles.

Absence of cross-functional teams: Silos between development, operations, and other departments can impede collaboration and slow down workflows.

Leadership support: Lack of support from leadership leads to difficulty in initiating changes.
