When DevOps arrives at an organization it can quickly take on much of the operational responsibility, from building infrastructure, monitoring, automation, which until then is part of the operations world. The adoption of the DevOps ecosystem has become more apparent in larger enterprises, compared to their counterpart Small and Medium Businesses (SMBs). The growth trajectory symbolizes that technologies supporting DevOps toolchain are presumed to grow by 21 percent globally by the end of 2020. Puppet, Chef, Salt, and Ansible are some noteworthy configuration tools that companies leverage the most. The toolchains facilitate continuous integration, deployment, and delivery to accelerate the DevOps approach successfully. Although firms were focused on deploying containers over virtual devices in the past, they are now gradually deploying these containers over conventional bare metal servers. As the demand for swift product development and delivery grows, multitudes of technologists, service providers, DevOps consulting/services, and vendors have carved out unique methodologies to derive more significant insights into an organization’s existing processes. Their innovation efforts strive at enhancing efficiencies by automating end-to-end delivery pipeline and facilitate consecutive integration and development. Industry experts believe this is the year when organizations of all sizes start not just doing DevOps, but doing DevOps at scale. This will necessitate specialized development tools, with modeling and measurement highlighted over libraries and compilers.

Although the DevOps landscape stands poised to flourish, few concerns still irk the adoption of a comprehensive DevOps approach—security and lack of knowledge. Considering every aspect of DevOps’ advancements, the development process will migrate to a quality-focused procedure within the next two years. Several status-quo procedures will be defined and followed depending on the type of software, which includes IoT, cloud-based analytics, device software, communication software, and mobile to name a few.
