How DevOps Differs from Traditional IT, and Which One is Better
Open Source For You|September 2023
DevOps enhances collaboration, while traditional IT upholds stability. Knowing when to automate and when to rely on stability is key. Organisations must choose their strategy wisely for optimal outcomes in varied industries. A balance of both DevOps and traditional IT generally works well.
How DevOps Differs from Traditional IT, and Which One is Better

In the rapidly evolving landscape of information technology (IT), two distinct approaches to software development and IT operations have emerged: DevOps and traditional IT. These approaches differ in their methodologies, emphasis, and outcomes. In this article, we will explore the key characteristics of DevOps and traditional IT, and compare how they apply to two different organisations – a stock broker and a healthcare organisation. By understanding how each approach aligns with the unique needs and objectives of these organisations, we can gain insights into which method might be more suitable for their specific contexts.

Overview of DevOps and traditional IT

DevOps is a collaborative approach that encourages seamless communication and cooperation between software developers and IT operations teams. Its main focus is on breaking down silos and promoting a culture of continuous learning and improvement. By integrating development and operations, DevOps aims to accelerate software delivery, enhance product quality, and increase customer satisfaction.

Traditional IT follows a more rigid and compartmentalised structure, with distinct development and operations teams. Communication between these teams may be limited, leading to potential delays and misunderstandings. Traditional IT emphasises stability, control, and well-established processes to maintain reliable IT services and software.
