The Growth of DevOps and It’s trends in 2019



In the modern business world, DevOps is the much-needed answer to eliminate repetitive tasks and poor coordination between the Software development and IT Operations team. DevOps is a systematic approach that eliminates repetition, reduces glitches, exemplary coordination, and more production. Before we go in-depth about DevOps, let’s look into its history.

The inception of DevOps

Back in 2008, Andrew Shafer scheduled a seminar on “Agile Infrastructure” in Toronto. He received a very poor response that he closed the seminar before it even began. But the idea struck Patrick Debois. Patrick was keen to collaborate with Andrew. He was excited to know that Andrew had the same viewpoint as him, who felt there was a disconnect between the development and operations team. He strongly felt that the differences between both the teams could be eliminated, and both teams can work in collaboration. Andrew and Patrick came together to form the group Agile Systems Group. They aimed to bring together developers and operators.



In 2009, Patrick watched a presentation by John Allspaw on “10+ Deploys per Day: Dev and Ops Cooperation at Flickr”. John Allspaw spoke about how developers and operators can collaborate to improve the deployment of software. This presentation inspired Patrick to start his seminars. His conferences attracted forward-thinking minds who were trying to improve the deployment of software. The group of people who came together started the DevOpsDays hashtag on twitter. This hashtag started to trend, and more and more people joined the conversation under the hashtag DevOps. They had to reduce from DevopsDays to DevOps due to character limitations.

In 2010, the DevOpsDays face to face meetings was conducted in different cities around the world, which led to the popularity of DevOps. 

By 2018 most organizations embraced DevOps in their business process. The ability to support the modern business that is constantly going through a transformation, more and more organizations started adopting DevOps in their processes.  

DevOps trends in 2019


The collaboration between the Development and Information Technology Operations has led to better communication and also the emergence of new disciplines and tools. As a result, more and more organizations started adopting DevOps. The top five trends of DevOps are:

Automation

It will not be a distant reality that most business functions will be automated. We have already adopted automation in quite a few functions. Automation will change how IT operations operate. It will also lead to the development of DevOps processes. The 6C’s of DevOps are:

  • Continuous Business Planning
  • Collaborative Development
  • Continuous Testing
  • Continuous Release and Deployment
  • Continuous Monitoring
  • Collaborative Customer Feedback and Optimization
The implementation of automation between the stages of 6C’s is essential for the development of DevOps.



AI and ML

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are going to be a big part of DevOps culture. AI and ML can perform tedious tasks, along with processing a huge amount of information and save time for IT staff. They can study patterns and provide solutions to potential problems. This will make work easier for IT staff, and they can concentrate and prioritize time for other important work.  


More focus on DevOps Assembly Lines

Most organizations are focusing on automating the process of software development. DevOps Assembly Lines focuses on streamlining several DevOps activities, workflows that are event-driven, easy to share statuses as well as information across various activities. DevOps Assembly Line can define complex workflows through numerous pipelines. Earlier the focus was on Continuous Integration (CI), which has been shifted to Continuous Delivery. DevOps Assembly Line can manage several pipelines and automate workflows through several teams and tools, which enables Continuous Delivery.

Container Technology – Kubernetes


Kubernetes has become enormously popular because of its easy to use.  A product originally developed by Google is an open-source platform. It automates the operations of Linux containers. It avoids the manual work involved in deploying and scaling applications that are containerized.

DevSecOps will be in focus

DevSecOps aims at bringing security in every step of the process. Each person is held responsible in the SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) flow. The security processes and controls are embedded in the early stage of the workflow. This ensures that it is not bolted towards the end of the processes flow.

DevOps is not just a technology but a mindset and culture that more and more organizations are embracing to eliminate disconnections between development and operations. Businesses that are adopting DevOps should keep a tab on the latest trends and developments of DevOps to benefit from it.

In the near future, it is expected that almost all organizations will be adopting DevOps in their functions. This would lead to a high demand for DevOps certified professionals in various organizations. It is highly recommended for developers and operators to get certified in DevOps. So, if you’re an expert and looking for a certification, Certification Planner conducts DevOps courses in the US, Australia, Mexico, Canada, and Singapore.

Optimizing Stakeholder Engagement

  Stakeholders are individuals or organizations who are involved in the project, or whose interests are positively or negatively affected by the result of the project. Stakeholders are essential as the project’s success or failure largely depends on the fulfillment of stakeholder’s needs or expectations. Due to this, the engagement of stakeholders intrinsically becomes an essential part of project management. The key to effective stakeholder engagement is “planning.” One has to systematically identify and prioritize stakeholders, along with establishing proper communication modes with them. So let’s look at the steps in the strategy to develop and optimize stakeholder engagement.   1. Stakeholder Identification The first step is to identify who all are being affected by the projects.

Importance of Effective Communication in the Workplace

Ineffective communication can lead to the failure of a project and even closure of a process or an organization. Communication is very crucial at work. A superior should be able to communicate effectively with their team members.

It is crucial as a leader to have excellent communication skills and to give out clear messages. Active Listening Active listening is one of the crucial elements to be a good communicator.

A person who actively listens will ask the right questions and understand what the other person is trying to say. If a person actively listens, they will be abl...
