According to a report from IT analyst firm Freeform Dynamics, using cloud or DevOps in isolation accelerates software delivery by just over 50 percent. However, using them together achieves an acceleration of 81 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When applications are migrated to the cloud it presents an ideal opportunity to modernize the hosting platform to take advantage of modern cloud services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Introducing DevOps principles alongside cloud adoption also offers a more seamless and focused route to operational maturity. This is especially important for businesses that have recently made the transition from start-up to scale-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you\u2019re building a cloud-native application from the ground up, DevOps principles can be embedded from the outset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, existing applications can also be evolved to benefit from DevOps ways of working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This can either happen during migration to the cloud, or following a lift and shift. Essentially, it involves re-platforming, revising or refactoring the application. It\u2019s about improving and modernising the infrastructure without going to the extent of rearchitecting or significant recoding. For many organisations, this is the quickest and most straightforward way to make targeted performance improvements in a new cloud environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In our experience, businesses that introduce DevOps alongside cloud adoption don\u2019t just save money and accelerate innovation. They also have happier, more motivated staff. People become more fulfilled and energised by their work. This in turn brings a willingness to change and grow, driving continual improvement and commercial advantage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
