I recently learned that Lewis Carroll first coined the term portmanteau to describe “two meanings packed into one word.” DevOps is a current example which has also become a popular topic in the world of IT. If you’ve been reading about it online however, you’d be forgiven for thinking DevOps is only about accelerating application deployment into production. For some, it seems, it’s easy to forget that DevOps has a much broader meaning, and that it’s about building a culture of collaboration, communication and cooperation between development and operations.
DevOps is an alternative model where development and operations work collaboratively toward achieving the shared goal of creating business value.
For organizations trying to address development and deployment speed, the introduction of microservices architecture may be a solution. However, it can come with challenges – particularly around the complexity of many moving pieces.
