Enterprises are moving all or part of their infrastructure to the cloud to take advantage of the flexibility, resiliency, and security the cloud affords. This move to the cloud is likely to accelerate as organizations that were further along in cloud adoption found it easier to pivot to remote operation when the pandemic stuck in March 2020. Moving to the cloud off-loaded routine tasks from campus IT professionals and fosters innovation and speed. Taking full advantage of these benefits, however, requires new IT skills and new ways of building and managing applications. Many organizations have traditional “siloed” teams for application development, production control, and systems administration. DevOps is an approach to rapidly building applications in the cloud that fosters collaboration among cross-functional teams that span the traditional work processes of developers and systems administrators. Using DevOps processes and tools leads to faster software development, easier deployment, and greater reliability. DevOps practices can be uncomfortable to traditional IT leaders and organizations that evolved to manage traditional ERP systems. Each organization will have a different journey to implement DevOps.
