Welcome to DevOps Next 2024 and Beyond
The Impact of DevOps
DEVOPS, once a novel idea, has now become a widely adopted practice, significantly changing how we approach software creation. It has successfully navigated the storms of inflated expectations and the trough of disillusionment, proving its applicability throughout the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC).
DevOps began with the desire to close the divide between development and operations and eliminate decades of “over-the-wall” software delivery to Operations. DevOps’ originators knew there must be a better way.
DevOps, often misconstrued as a technology or a set of tools, is in fact a philosophy that fosters a culture of collaboration. It guides how we develop software, breaking down job role and organizational boundaries. In essence, DevOps is not about tools, but about fostering a collaborative environment, much like how carpentry is about the craft of designing and creating quality wood objects.
DevOps was built and has matured upon a collection of principles and concepts borrowed from Agile, Toyota manufacturing, Deming’s Total Quality Management, Lean manufacturing and Eliyahu M. Goldratt’s Theory of Constraints (to name a few). DevOps implemented concepts like shortened feedback loops, continuous improvement, smaller units of work, shorter cycles, continuous workflow, removing roadblocks and crossfunctional collaborative
teams.
