DevOps culture and its impact on cloud delivery and software development

Abstract

DevOps presents a significant broader perspective in delivering software solutions. The perception of DevOps being a mere tool has been formulated into a change in culture, paradigms in automation, clarity in measuring risks and facilitating ease of sharing. DevOps has been responsible for companies to move from a monolithic pace of software releases to an agile mindset. This paper discovers the significance of DevOps and tries to explore the process of transformation from a legacy method and onto the impact of the change on overall architecture and software scale out. The transformation from a legacy mindset to agile mindset requires a formidable change to the organizational setup. The journey of adoption of such a culture requires various degrees of effort and techniques. In this paper, we cover the concepts, adoption strategies and the impact of such adoption strategies.
