The technological revolution is transforming the IT industry. DevOps is a business philosophy that brings together all divisions to deliver strong technology solutions informed by organizational goals. And it’s transforming, too. There’s a lot to be excited about when it comes to DevOps in the next five years.

Automation in DevOps workflow 

You can make your processes more efficient by automating manual tasks, monitoring existing systems and identifying areas for improvement. Through automation of regular DevOps process maintenance you can focus on more important initiatives while your systems remain up and running. IT teams can keep their systems at peak performance without shifting their time and energy from projects that require personal attention. That way, you can invest the resources into improving existing functionality or creating new components. 

Automation is becoming increasingly important for DevOps efficiency, since it’s now possible to automate several elements of the development process. And at the same time, tech is becoming so complex that automation is becoming essential! At CloudNow, our development teams use automation to ensure we can pivot whenever and wherever needed.

Containers and microservices 

Within the cloud-based IT infrastructure, containers and microservices are seeing increasing adoption. That’s because, when compared with traditional VMs, containers increase efficiency, speed up turnaround, deliver scalability, and improve cost-effectiveness. Since containerization adds a layer of abstraction, development becomes streamlined. There are fewer system infrastructure details to be taken into consideration, making development faster and more reliable. When you work with microservices, it’s possible to maintain consistency across environments since they enable parallel development. This simplifies management of large and diverse workloads.

Agility and speed

Technology is evolving rapidly. Businesses need to move fast, yet with precision, to keep up. That’s where Agile DevOps comes in. When you work with an experienced development partner such as CloudNow, you gain our expertise. We’re up-to-date on the latest technologies, which gives you an edge against your competitors. This helps improve development agility in every tech project, thus mitigating risk and optimizing cost-effectiveness. 

Data-driven decision-making

In the digital age, data is king! It’s invaluable to driving smarter decisions and powering performance. DevOps provides data-driven guidance and insights, which organizations can use to improve outcomes. CloudNow understands the importance of data to inform strategy and optimize operations. We build data-driven decision-making into every step of our DevOps development process, leading to better outcomes on every parameter from customer satisfaction to cost- and time-efficiency and even capacity expansion. Understanding data analytics is essential to seamless digital transformation.

Real-time collaboration

Collaboration between businesses, IT firms and other stakeholders is important in the evolving digital landscape. That’s because tech projects today have a much larger spread across stakeholders working from remote locations. In addition, change happens at a much more rapid rate than previously. Live real-time collaboration during DevOps process keeps the project on track, increases team cohesion, and ensures that all decision-makers are on the same page.

In addition, strategic collaborations allow business and development partner to work together to achieve results that leverage strengths of both parties. With our expertise in the industry, we use the right DevOps cloud tools to build an effective development workflow. This reduces cost overhead, optimizes efficiency, and speeds up time-to-market.

Culture is as important as technical tools when it comes to improving DevOps processes.
