2020.09.11
The advantages in attempting DevOps always outweigh disadvantages, even though the benefits towards company are clear and distinct, companies cannot implement DevOps recklessly, key ideas should be concerned.
DevOps culture emphasize team spirit, collaboration and communication among departments and should be selfless, DevOps mentality renounces each department do things in their own way and individual teams. DevOps prompt collaborative action and solve problem with efficacy and efficiency and assist staffs understand different departments’ role.
DevOps has its own routine, specialists mostly allocating their time in refining streams such as continuous development in security, ensuring tools and devices are running smooth, persistent improvement are one of the DevOps aims. DevOps approach should be a habit, once efficiency has been proved, companies rely on it due to the stability, security and agility of DevOps.
Traditional companies reluctant to innovate due to complication in management. Restraint are always stumbling block in company’s growth and cause development tempo stuck and not moving forward. In contrast, DevOps approach accustomed to failure. Successful DevOps teams shall not be overcautious and indecisive, they would rather emphasize on continuous development, quick repairing and continuous integration and analysis.
No matter how successful the DevOps team are, bottleneck will occur for sure and sink into stagnation. DevOps culture encourages to blaze new trials and question current status which is the path to pursue innovative solutions. Teams should furthermore search for less complicated software development which minimized time spent in reallocation in new features or the whole application.
Teams should have collaboration among different departments. Collaboration can prevent teams stepping into an isolated situation, with more communication channels built, monitoring data and other information. Can be freely transfer among teams.
Automation should also be applied on routine work which analysis and thinking are not required. Consistency can also be ensured in automation and will not be affected by personal factors.
The prerequisite for DevOps culture apart from its agility, quality should also be prioritized. Meeting customers expectation in production are expected. Software is unacceptable in having obvious defects.
Implementing DevOps requires patience and every transformation for companies should be step by step and clearly explained to team members which understanding towards DevOps long-term and short-term benefits are necessary. Education and training for staffs can ensure the core value of DevOps have been delivered and adapted at the same time used to DevOps spontaneously action practice.
