The term ‘Fusion’ refers to the energy that powers our Universe. It is a very efficient process of energy creation. The energy yields are high, the waste is minimal, and there is no consequent ill-effect on the immediate environment. Close to perfect almost!
However, there is another type of fusion that is now sweeping across the enterprise computing landscape. And, it is nothing sort of a magic recipe for enterprise success in 2020.
In Cloud computing and DevOps, enterprises now have their most trusted panacea for fusing development and operations. With cloud computing and DevOps, enterprise businesses can now break long-standing cultural and knowledge boundaries for achieving new levels of excellence in product development, deployment, and distribution.
What DevOps Does?
In any traditional enterprise structure, developers and operations have always remained two mutually exclusive business units. This separation meant that the time to test and deploy an enterprise-grade application was soaked with delays, poor QA, slower update cycles and a lot of intangible business risks.
DevOps completely solves this Achilles heel of every enterprise. It expedites application life cycles, makes QA sessions quick yet extremely efficient and most importantly, allows applications (including large-scale) to be deployed multiple times within a day.
Only a few years back, it would take months to deploy, configure and run a new feature update for an application. Today, DevOps offers enterprise operation units with tools that have promoted impeccable standardization of the application test and deployment environment.
This newfound capability to test and deploy multiple instances of an application or a feature has offered enterprise owners the leverage to test new applications and features without worrying about business competitiveness, business loss due to downtime, etc.
And the benefits are not restricted to operations alone; development teams can now do code changes multiple times in the central repository, also known as CI/CD pipeline. In simple terms, it means enterprise application, irrespective of their size and features, can be released on an on-demand basis. You don’t have to wait for months and at the same time pray that your competitors do not release that critical feature for products and services before you do.
Now that we know what benefits DevOps brings for enterprise, we have a new question.
Where does Cloud Computing fit into all this?
Well, right at its heart.
DevOps and cloud is a symbiotic relationship. While DevOps is about improving existing development and operation workflows for business agility and efficiency, cloud computing offers the right set of tools and services to make this transformation frictionless and consistently efficient.
In a DevOps environment, cloud computing makes development-
- Fast, productive, and efficient.
- Reduces development cycle
- Eliminates human errors
- Easy scaling
With cloud computing and DevOps, the veil that separated development and operations has finally been removed. With operations too now having a programmable infrastructure well integrated with development environments, enterprises can now introduce and market new products and features at instantaneous rates. Not preparing for DevOps is like not preparing for the future of Enterprise-IT.
