Reduced Deployment Time
Trend #4: DevOps will dramatically reduce the time to deploy a feature to production.
This trend is already happening, as product methodologies transition from traditional waterfall to more agile ways of working. As this transformation occurs, so too will systems be more risk tolerant. Any changes are less likely to negatively impact the entire system – and time to production will be reduced to mere minutes, rather than days or weeks.
TIP: Companies should start with measuring how long it takes to deliver a bug fix or a feature to production, and monitor this on a weekly basis. This is a clear metric that can help monitor DevOps success.
DevOps – a cultural and professional IT movement focused on changing the mindset of how organizations function – will no doubt make a significant impact across many companies this year. Whether it is more stable operating environments, faster delivery of product features, quicker resolution of problems, or continuous software delivery, DevOps can benefit a company's product lifecycle, its competitive advantage, and its ability to more quickly meet customer needs.
Yet for all of its benefits, DevOps is still in its early phases, because it's about making a significant cultural shift in how an organization works – and what tools it uses to improve its products. Rajesh Sethu, director of DevOps at Replicon, identifies five key trends organizations should watch in 2016, as well as tips on how these trends should be used to ensure DevOps success in your business.
