DevOps has evolved big time since many of us thought it was just a buzzword. Now we know that is a myth. DevOps has become the main focus and has been shaping the world of software for the last few years. Experts say that DevOps is going to be the mainstream and its popularity is going to reach its peak in 2019.
5. More Companies Are Expected to Opt for Enterprise Versions
There are many companies that are still in a dilemma of whether to build or buy. But, we recommend you do what you are best at and buy the tools as per your requirements. This not only helps you focus on your goals but also increases productivity by entirely depending on the 3rd party platform. Many companies are now going for enterprise versions to get their own infrastructure and make sure security is in the best hands possible.
6. Kubernetes Is Going to Evolve Significantly
Kubernetes has become the fastest-growing container technology because of its offerings and ease to use. Kubernetes has built a great open source community around it. Around the world, many CIO’s and technologists have adopted to use of Kubernetes and it is expected to evolve in 2019.
Recently, leading up to KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America (December 6–8, 2017), the Cloud Native Computing Foundation conducted a survey and shared how the Container Orchestration Landscape is changing and moving towards Kubernetes.
7. Security Will Become the Primary Focus — DevSecOps
The CICD pipeline makes it possible to employ rapid changes daily to address customer needs and demands. The CI/CD pipeline can be automated as well, and hence Security has to be a design constraint these days. Thinking security right from the beginning requires security to be built into software instead of being bolted on, Security is no more an add-on.
Recently we have seen a rising trend of DevSecOps, DevSecOps is about injecting security first in the life cycle of application development, thus lessening vulnerabilities and bringing security closer to IT and business objectives. This model assumes everyone is responsible for the security and hence less noise and dilemma on who did what and what went wrong.
8. AI & ML Will Foster DevOps Growth
AI and ML are perfect fits for a DevOps culture. They can process vast amounts of information and help perform menial tasks, freeing the IT staff to do more targeted work. They can learn patterns, anticipate problems and suggest solutions. If DevOps’ goal is to unify development and operations, AI and ML can smooth out some of the tensions that have divided the two disciplines in the past. (Source — devops.com)
