DevOps 2018 Report

Puppet has published its 2018 State of DevOps Report. This year they have examined the premises on adoption and confirmed that most successful adoptions follow a project by project approach, with a single project pioneering the way and gradual cross poliantion of practice whilst it is matured.

The project focuses on 2 aspects of adoption:

• CAMS - Culture - Automation - Mearsurement & Sharing

• a 6 layer maturity model from 0 to 5, which broadly follows a simplify and Standardise Approach, Followed by Process Practices, then Automation and finally Self Service capabilities.

One of the themes of the report is the gap between teams practicing DevOps and Senior Management. It still appears that DevOps adopters continue to struggle with cultural aspects associated with empowerment and reporting.

Anyway, for anyone interested in the Lean Aspects of Digital Business Models, this is essential reading.
