This philosophy, where developers and operations team work together to speed up things from the development to deployment has huge potential. High performing IT organizations embracing DevOps are now more agile and reliable--deploying code 30 times more frequently with significantly fewer failures.For organizations adopting agile development methodologies and cloud computing, DevOps and continuous delivery practices enable agility for infrastructure, helping with the rapid deployment of new functions and features. Cloud-based DevOps is paving the way to leverage the full potential of cloud application development and the closer integration of various process areas, quickly and cost effectively.Tools supporting DevOps are also growing by the day. Automated configuration management tools like Chef, Puppet, Docker, Ansible, and Saltstack witnessed significant growth in the last 12 months. With technology that supports the DevOps toolchain booming, DevOps is evolving from a niche to a mainstream strategy. Adopting DevOps is a great way to leap ahead of the competition. Even though large enterprises with thousands of programmers and an established culture might face more challenges in adapting to the DevOps culture as opposed to smaller, agile companies, there are models that they can emulate.With companies building tools that enhance automation and configuration, and with cloud, big data, and converged IT continuing to impact the software development paradigm, the ecosystem is not only becoming more complex, but also smarter. The bottom line is--following DevOps practices is faster, scalable, and cheaper than other application deployment and management methods.On that note, we present to you the DevOps special edition of CIOReview. Here, we are featuring 20 most promising DevOps Solution Providers, listing the best vendors and consultants providing key technology solutions. We hope this special edition will help customers revamp their DevOps strategy and achieve substantial increases in productivity.
