| | SEPTEMBER 20166CIOReviewBe it buying Christmas gifts on Etsy or sending humans to Mars, DevOps is playing a vital role in catalyzing innovation by bridging the gap between development and operations teams. Nonetheless, while embarking on the journey to heightened productivity by adopting a continuous approach to software delivery and development, CIOs need to carefully revamp their company's processes by examining the frequency and scale of tests running throughout the development cycle. This will not only help speed up the process, but also streamline troubleshooting and ensure the bugs are patched considerably quickly.Fortunately, there is no dearth of tools that can assist enterprises--big or small--hop on the DevOps train. Software and services aimed at automation and analytics are fueling the DevOps revolution. From Chef, Puppet, and Docker to Ansible, Ruxit, and Jenkins, today's innovative tools provide seamless orchestration, superior control, robust security, and most of all--extensive automation. The rise of DevOps can partly be attributed to the rapid growth of cloud computing. Like the continuous development and deployment approach of DevOps, cloud fosters continuous updates to applications and infrastructure. While cloud will certainly help DevOps, it is not a necessity. Despite the synergy between the two, they can function independent of each other depending on an enterprise's specific needs. What worked for Etsy and NASA might not be the best approach for an SMB, but the benefits of transitioning to DevOps are as clear as day. All that matters is making a surefooted shift from yesteryear's success stories to what will drive enterprises toward glory tomorrow.At this juncture, where nearly every forward-looking company is either adopting DevOps or is planning to make the jump soon, CIOReview is presenting to you a special edition on DevOps, featuring insights from industry thought leaders. We hope the technology solutions presented in this 2nd Annual DevOps Edition will help you become a DevOps trailblazer.Let us know your thoughts.Jeevan George Managing Editoreditor@cioreview.comCopyright © 2016 ValleyMedia, Inc.
