[Tweet “\u201cBy 2016, DevOps will evolve from niche to a mainstream strategy employed by 25 percent of Global 2000 organizations.” says Gartner. “]<\/p>\n

DevOps movement is really picking up momentum. Many conferences, blogs, mailing lists these days are talking about how and why this transformation is eventually inevitable. Organizations today are convinced that these are paradigm shifts where Sysadmins and developers need to start working together, train each other, and ultimately blur the boundary between them. The prevailing challenge is that Sysadmins get the software live, but often have least interactions with developers, sometimes nil, diminishing the expectations to deliver good software.<\/p>\n

DevOps platform addresses this challenge of software development through innovation, speed, collaboration, and safety – leading towards transformation. With DevOps, it seems obvious that communication is the biggest key where DevOps methodologies act as\u00a0bridge-builders. Building quality software is really hard as its error prone, risky and unpredictable, which led to pitfalls in the past years. And to say that an application is ‘Dev Complete\u2019 has that extra mile to go before one can call it ‘Live, In Production, Steady, and Revenue Generating’.<\/p>\n

Using DevOps and its Tremendous Impact on Business<\/strong><\/p>\n

The DevOps movement needs to be characterized by people with a multidisciplinary skill set – that is, people who are not only comfortable with infrastructure and configuration, but also ready to roll up their sleeves, write tests, debug, and ship features. These people contribute in making DevOps successful as they are efficient in building quick-contacts by creating a comfort zone. They can easily play the role of ambassadors, peace makers, facilitators and communicators and compare ideas discuss and motivate members towards easy adoption of DevOps.<\/p>\n

The movement is picking up momentum because with DevOps, technical teams start trying to pull together and create an empowered atmosphere, become more aware of their capabilities, and start supporting all the areas. This makes it easier to track the traditionally problematic areas of deployment and maintenance. The battleground of developers versus sysadmins begin to revamp into a cross-disciplinary approach, thus maximizing reliability in all areas. This transformation brings positive effect on the bottom line with better reliability and availability, faster time to market, happier clients that leaves management with more time to focus the team’s energy towards core business creating a better ROI.<\/p>\n

How to get involved?<\/strong><\/p>\n

DevOps is an attitude where most of the software development organizations want to be in, to make a difference to cooperate and communicate. Sysadmins, developers, along with testers, need to be involved for success of the DevOps movement:<\/p>\n
