How DevOps is integral to a cloud-native strategy

One of the fundamental patterns for embracing a cloud-native approach is DevOps – the practice of automating the processes between software development and operations teams. As cloud-native is a way to bring innovation to market faster and transform enterprises, DevOps is the journey needed to align people, processes and technologies, providing unparalleled boosts to an organisation’s speed and efficiency.The statistics speak for themselves DevOps teams experience 200x more deployments, 2555x faster lead times, 24x faster recoveries from failure, 3x lower change failure rates and 22% less time spent redoing work. These improvements drive a continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) paradigm, where multiple teams of developers continually iterate on software in parallel, which in turn improves deployment time and cuts down errors. The result is a virtuous cycle, with efficiencies among the team driving CI/CD, which in turn pushes the team’s efficiency up.
