DevOps Values
Software and the Internet have transformed the world and all its spheres – from shopping and entertainment to banking. Modern software not only supports the business, but becomes its integral part at every stage. Companies interact with customers through software, which is an online service or application for all types of devices.
In addition, companies increase operational efficiency by transforming each link in the value chain: logistics, communications and operation. Just as manufacturing companies have changed their approach to designing, creating and delivering products through industrial automation throughout the 20th century, modern companies must change their approach to creating and distributing software.
What Are the Main Benefits of DevOps?
Efficiency
Work at high speed to quickly implement new opportunities for customers, better adapt to changing markets and more effectively achieve your business goals. For example, microservices and continuous delivery allow groups to quickly take control of services and then quickly update them.
Fast Delivery
Increase the frequency and speed of releases to update and improve your product faster. The faster you release new features and fixes, the more quickly you can respond to customer needs and create competitive advantages. Continuous integration and delivery help automate the software release process, from assembly to deployment.
Reliability
Monitor the quality of application updates and infrastructure changes to ensure reliable and fast product development and end-user loyalty. Continuous integration and continuous delivery methods help test the functionality and security of each change. Monitoring and logging allows you to monitor performance in real time.
Innovation
We define business innovation as a process of implementing new ideas, which will streamline operational workflows and add value to your company. For example, innovation occurs by tweaking an existing process or system, building new ones, or introducing a better alternative to an outdated process. All of these contribute to more efficient management and development outcome.
Streamlined Collaboration
Create more effective groups within the DevOps cultural model, which supports values such as ownership and responsibility. Development and operations teams work closely together, share most of their responsibilities and integrate their work processes. This reduces irrational tasks and saves time (for example, it reduces the time for transferring cases from developers to maintenance engineers and eliminates the need to write code taking into account the environment in which it will be launched).
Security
Develop fast, keeping control and observing all requirements. The DevOps model can be deployed without compromising security through automated compliance policies, fine-tuning, and configuration management techniques. For example, using infrastructure as code and policies as code, you can define requirements and then track compliance at any scale.
