Advantages of Adopting DevOps for Azure

Simplify

Spend more time where it counts: developing software. When you use an end-to-end DevOps solution to develop and maintain apps in the cloud, you spend less time building delivery pipelines and more time delivering solutions.

Reliability & Repeatability

Spend less time managing and more time deploying and developing. DevOps reduces the cost of failure and lowers impact of defects, meaning you can try new things quickly and with little risk.

Testing

Rapidly create and deploy new features to small user groups to test ideas and find out what works and what doesn’t before releasing to all users (A/B Testing).

Speed

Deploy more often and release the features your customers want faster while reducing the risk of a major change based outage.

Compliance

Spend less time collecting information for auditors through the use of automation. Have records of when every action was taken and by whom.

Use Azure native tools or leverage what you already have to create a fully automate CI/CD toolchain. Spend more time on value-add activities that benefit your customers.

Why You Should Build Cloud Automation into Your Migration Plan

While your team is planning a migration, thinking about how you will optimize your new cloud landscape will help you take advantage of the efficiencies that the cloud has to offer, including cloud automation. A great cloud infrastructure makes use of a good cloud platform and a custom-built cloud automation framework that helps your team focus on high-value work, and not day-to-day tedium.

Building a DevOps Roadmap

DevOps isn’t a new concept, but as organizations realize the need for more frequent and efficient releases, there has never been a better time to start your digital transformation journey. At the core of DevOps is a shift to continuous deployment and delivery, which results in faster time to market. The benefits are numerous, but how do you get there? The answer lies with building a DevOps roadmap that will help guide you to a full DevOps experience.

Why understanding the DevOps equation is critical to a successful DevOps program

When implementing a DevOps culture, a focus on tools is destined to fail. Why? Because of the DevOps Equation. The DevOps Equation tells us that DevOps Success = Quality x Acceptance. Therefore, you could have a perfectly designed solution, but if it isn’t accepted by all of the stakeholders, then it is not going to be of much value to the organization, and it will eventually fail.
