Deep dives
Evolution of DevOps
DevOps has undergone significant transformation since its inception, evolving from the early days of mere infrastructure automation. Initially, there was no concept of DevOps; it emerged as a solution to address the scaling challenges brought on by the rise of cloud computing and the need for rapid deployment of applications. In the past, distinct divisions between systems administrators and software developers hindered collaboration, but as companies faced the pressure to deliver software faster, organizational structures needed to evolve. Today, DevOps encapsulates both cultural shifts and the adoption of specific tools, although many organizations still struggle to fully integrate the cultural aspects that drive effective DevOps practices.
