The Missing Link for DevOps: How to Scale by Orchestrating What Others Automate
For today’s enterprises, the speed of business is set by an ever-accelerating pace of technological advancement, plus an ever-growing demand for new and updated software products. Developers are pushing out code updates at previously unthinkable rates. The race against time is on! But moving fast without breaking things or driving up costs can be challenging.
DevOps workflows can be complex. Multiple DevOps tools are integrated within the toolchain, and numerous IT teams — DevOps, IT Ops, DataOps, and PlatformOps — are part of the development process. It’s often a monumental task to ensure business system stability, security, scalability, and agility.
Enterprises with high-performing DevOps organizations have learned that an IT orchestration platform is the only sure way to master the complexity of DevOps workflows. While many individual DevOps tools already provide certain levels of automation within the tool itself, orchestrating all of them through a service orchestration and automation platform (SOAP) is how modern enterprises can bridge the gap between cross-functional teams’ needs at scale and empower individual contributors with self-service options.
This whitepaper covers several DevOps hot topics, including:
- How to avoid the most common DevOps process pitfalls, often driven by random acts of automation and the code/no-code skills gap
- How to drive agility and speed of deployment without foregoing security, integrations scalability, or customizable self-service capabilities
- How to promote DevOps organizational maturity and elevate DevOps performance by eliminating the cross-functional disconnect between IT Ops, DevOps, DataOps, and Platform Ops teams
- How to make DevOps teams a part of a viable long-term business strategy
