Once again, it is common for development and operations teams to exist in isolation within the realm of traditional IT. These isolated teams often have very little communication, resulting in missed release dates and continuous issues after deployment. These teams in isolation or "silos," negatively affect not only efficiency but also an organization's ability to respond quickly to market needs.
This is why DevOps is so much more than a series of tooling or processes to execute; it is a culture shift that removes the walls of traditional teams. DevOps is about fostering shared responsibility, open communication, and continued feedback among everyone engaged in or invested in the software delivery lifecycle. Rather than have defined "dev builds" and "ops deploys," dev and ops will work together throughout the lifecycle from planning to monitoring, and across the organization all team members will have a shared view of goals, timelines, and quality.
The most valuable aspect of adopting DevOps is, without a doubt, increased accountability. Developers learn to own their code because they will understand how the code behaves in production; it is easier to write resilient code. When the very beginning of the development lifecycle includes inputs from the operations teams, the operational teams can correlate with the dev team on infrastructure and anticipate needs well in advance. All of this collaboration limits the need for troubleshooting, helps expedite delivery, reduces bugs, and ultimately creates a far better experience for the end user.
A key result of establishing DevOps is an increase in accountability. Developers write stronger code when they recognize what happens with their code when it reaches production. Operations teams can better gauge what infrastructure needs they will have when engaging earlier with development teams in the development cycle. This better anticipations result in faster delivery, fewer defects and a far better user experience. For those professional and teams looking to adopt this mindset, and build real-world skills, the DevOps Course in Pune is a great place to start. It covers the fundamental DevOps principles and contains an emphasis on the human side—the collaboration, mindset, and responsibilities—tied to the technical tools and workflows.
Discussion Question:
Have you seen DevOps make improvements in communications and accountability in your projects? What instructions did you see after the silo's between the teams started to come down?
