Understanding DevOps and its importance in cloud transformations
DevOps is a type of Agile software development that combines software development with IT and testing. The intent is to eliminate miscommunication that delays code releases and causes difficulties with release implementation. DevOps teams are highly integrated and collaborative teams that deliver working product software on time for enhanced customer satisfaction.
Core principles of DevOps include:
- Collaboration
- Release focused
- Process automation
- Continuous testing
- Continuous improvement
- Continuous monitoring
The speed and accuracy of DevOps development improve the quality and timeliness of product releases. It’s that speed, efficiency, and productivity that are also critical for successful cloud transformations. With the ongoing need to accelerate technology to keep a competitive edge, businesses need the combination of DevOps and digital cloud transformation to thrive.
DevOps and cloud transformation provide a modern IT architecture’s necessary speed, scalability, and flexibility. The DevOps process, quality, and speed support successful cloud transformation.

Benefits of Leveraging DevOps for Cloud Transformation
The benefits of using DevOps for your cloud transformation include:
- Improved efficiency and productivity
- Faster time to market
- High team collaboration and communication
- Higher levels of customer satisfaction and positive customer experience
Higher collaboration and focused teamwork result in a lean development process that suffers less chaos and the resulting errors or schedule delays. Improved customer experience and satisfaction are critical for modern businesses. Delivering high-quality products on time is the only way to achieve customer satisfaction. Once you provide, supporting any changes or corrections with a quick turnaround is critical. DevOps and cloud transformation support both.
DevOps can support your cloud transformation and keep it working seamlessly for the foreseeable future. Granted, technology is continuously changing, but with a complete cloud transformation and DevOps, you will stay ahead of the game.
Best Practices for Implementing DevOps in Your Cloud Strategy
Are you considering DevOps? You want it, but implementing DevOps requires a well-thought-out and designed strategy. The first step is to create a DevOps strategy that includes:
- Source code management
- Protect your code investment, developer’s sanity, and efficiency by using an effective method for source code management.
- Create a DevOps team culture
- Changing a team culture takes time. Instill the DevOps methodology in teams and allow them time to adapt to new processes and tools.
- Setting goals
- Set specific goals and objectives based on the overall business goals. Goals may be at a strategic level, but they also need to be set for each team.
- Ensure team goals are attainable and measurable.
- Establishing measures using Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
-
- KPIs enable you to measure the success of your DevOps implementation.
- Use the results to practice continuous improvement for team processes and procedures.
Consider also creating a pilot program. Instead of changing development methodologies for all teams simultaneously, reduce the chaos and churn by selecting one or two teams to be pilot projects. The team can work out any kinks and establish the first processes by creating a pilot. Changing testing, coding, and implementation simultaneously is no easy task. Let the pilot teams work on the initial processes. Once they are up and running, you can tweak your DevOps strategy to meet your organization’s needs.
