DevOps Deployment Methodology

DevOps is not just a development methodology but also a set of practices that supports an organizational culture. DevOps deployment centers on organizational change that enhances collaboration between the departments responsible for different segments of the development life cycle, such as development, quality assurance and operations.

Pros:

DevOps is focused on improving time to market, lowering the failure rate of new releases, shortening the lead time between fixes, and minimizing disruption while maximizing reliability. To achieve this, DevOps Organizations aim to automate continuous deployment to ensure everything happens smoothly and reliably. Companies that use DevOps methods benefit by significantly reducing time to market and improving customer satisfaction, product quality, and employee productivity and efficiency.

Cons:

Even in lights of benefits, there are a few drawbacks to DevOps:
• Some customers don’t want continuous updates to their systems.
• Some industries have regulations that require extensive testing before a project can move to the operations phase.
• If different departments use different environments, undetected issues can slip into production.
• Some quality attributes require human interaction, which slows down the delivery pipeline.
